Esbjerg, Denmark — 08-11 November 2005
Symposium
|
Welcome!NEW! MIS 2005 has passed, but MIS 2006 planning is underway. Check back here soon for more information. For authors of accepted papers: New information regarding the second round of submissions and revisions is posted on the submissions page. Please go there for more details. Metainformatics is a deliberately evocative title for a nascent community concerned with finding common ground shared by researchers and practitioners in many different computer science areas, who may use similar methods to achieve different ends. There is interest in finding useful abstractions, notations, analytical frameworks, formalisms, and systems that improve our understanding of the underlying structure of various disciplines and families of systems within Computer Science. Ideally these constructs should have utility in conveying knowledge and understanding across disciplinary boundaries. The Fourth Metainformatics Symposium will bring together researchers from a variety of fields including computer science, social sciences and the humanities to share and discuss ideas about the field of computer science, its effects on people both inside and outside the field, and on technologies that may help shape the field's future directions. The symposium will be structured somewhat differently than many traditional conferences by scheduling sessions intended to foster dialog within small groups of researchers in addition to plenary sessions to stress unifying themes. There will be ample opportunity for in-depth discussions to follow up on ideas presented at larger sessions, as well as several informal gatherings to help foster a sense of community in this new area. You can always mail ukwiil@mip.sdu.dk for more information. Thanks for your interest. Important Dates
