Call For Papers : SAINT2005 Workshop - http://www.saint2005.org/ - 

<International Workshop Cyberspace Technologies and Societies (IWCTS2005)>

IWCTS2004, one of workshops on SAINT2004, Tokyo, was so fruitful that we 
would like to hold "IWCTS2005" consecutively. As the sequel to IWCTS2004, 
IWCTS2005 provides an international workshop for technical discussions 
among researchers, developers and users of cyberspace systems from 
academia, business and industry. This workshop focuses on researches in 
cyberspace technologies, governance, and their advanced applications.

Over the past decade, we have seen rapid evolutions in information 
technology and its applications, especially in social aspects. The 
global transition of society demands new prospective technologies, and 
these technologies introduce new frameworks of the society as cyberspace 
applications.  They include e-commerce, e-government, e-learning and 
e-community, and require new types of knowledge modeling and 
implementations. Such cyberspace specific knowledge provides 
capabilities to manage and compute various types of media resources. For 
construction of the cyberspace knowledge, further progress of cyberspace 
infrastructures, which includes the mobile, wearable and secure network 
technologies, are seriously required.  This workshop offers the 
opportunity for in-depth explorations of selected topics and for the 
presentations of the most recent researches and development findings.

Technical papers on the cyberspace infrastructure, the cyberspace 
knowledge and the cyberspace applications are called for oral 
presentations at IWCTS2005. Papers reporting new developments in 
computing for society, community and governance, including but not 
limited to those listed below, are invited.

- Cyberspace Infrastructure and Governance
  -- Ubiquitous Computing and Governance
  -- Network Societies and Communities
  -- Internet Governance
- Cyberspace Knowledge and Databases
  -- Knowledge Modeling and Design for Cyberspace
  -- Multimedia, Spatial and Temporal Databases
  -- Knowledge Design for Geographical Information Systems
- Cyberspace Applications
  -- Cyberspace Learning
  -- Cyberspace Decision Making
  -- New Interdisciplinary Applications for the Internet
