日本データベース学会の皆様

東京大学の一井と申します。
本日は、来年７月２７日〜２９日に東京浅草で開催される

The 3rd International Human.Society@Internet Conference

への投稿のお願いをさせていただきたく、メール差し上げております。
この会議は、インターネットと人間や社会との関係について総合的に議論することを
目的として、Dr. Won Kimが始められたもので、
2001年、2003年とソウルで開催されたのに引き続き、
2005年には東京で開催されることになりました。
添付のCFPにある通り、テーマとしては

(1) インターネットが社会にもたらいしている様々なインパクト
（特に悪い影響）とそれを解決するための技術的・社会的な方策

(2) 社会に存在する様々な問題を解決しよりよい社会を築いていくための
インターネットの技術とその応用

を掲げています。
すなわち、技術そのもの、またはインターネット応用活動それ自体ではなく、
それらを現実社会とそこに存在する諸問題との関係でとらえ直したものを
対象にしています。
その意味で、既に新しい技術をお持ちの方、
インターネットを用いた活動を展開されている方は、
それを社会との関係で見直すことによってこの会議への寄与とすることが可能です。

（なお、CFPではTrack I, IIとありますが、
実際のセッション構成が２トラックに分かれるわけではありません。）

日本データベース学会には増永会長のご紹介により協賛をいただいております。
皆様ぜひ論文投稿をご検討ください。
投稿締め切りは2005年2月1日です。

Background and Aim of the Conference

 The Human.Society@Internet conference was first started in May 2000
 with the aim of providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and
 research results among professionals and students interested in
 following the issues and solutions to their possible ill effects, and
 issues and solutions to supporting the numerous applications of the
 Internet that have broad consequences on humans and the society.

 The technical themes of the 2005 edition of the conference are
 organized around two tracks as follows:

 Track I: Impacts of the Internet on Humans and the Society

 1. negative side effects of the Internet on humans and the society,
    that is, the uses of the Internet that have caused monetary
    damages, invasion of privacy, violation of intellectual rights,
    social problems, and even undesirable outcomes in elections,
    etc. These include, but are not limited to, spam; viruses, worms,
    and phishing; digital rights violations; frauds in electronic
    commerce, mobile commerce and auctions; hacking and intrusion;
    cyber terror and cyber warfare; invasion of privacy and identify
    theft; attacks against the Internet infrastructure, including
    denial of service attacks; exposure of children to unsavory
    things; hijacking of democracy by a small but vocal minority; bad
    web communities, such as suicide websites, crime-aiding websites;
    marriage breakups; rude words in opinions posted to websites; etc.

 2. technical, legal, business model, and mass education-based
    solutions to address ill effects from the uses of the Internet, as
    mentioned above.

 Track II: Applications of the Internet That Have Broad Positive
 Impacts on Humans and the Society

 1. both established and emerging uses of the Internet that have or
    are expected to have positive effects on humans and the society,
    that is, applications and uses of the Internet that expand
    commerce and economy, enhance quality of life, improve governmentﾕ
    s services to people, diversify the interactions and relationships
    among people in communities of varying sizes and purposes,
    etc. These include, but are not limited to, electronic commerce,
    mobile commerce, auction, online games, entertainment, education
    and learning, health care, governance, politics, Internet
    telephony, e-mass media (digital newspapers, radio), e-family,
    e-communities, etc.
	
 2. technologies to support the applications mentioned above.
