ECSCW 2011 – The Twelfth European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work

ECSCW 2011 calls for submissions reporting on investigations into cooperation in real world settings, designs of innovative technologies to support collaboration, and studies dealing with the appropriation of these technologies. Conceptual work related to theory building is encouraged, as well.

ECSCW is interested in cooperative settings in the workplace, in everyday life, and the civic society, and across boundaries between these spheres of life. Submissions should address the unfolding practices of everyday work and life, and the application of computing technologies in these practices. Papers may also focus on design of such technologies or on historical accounts of use. With design is meant processes, methods, and outcoming artefacts. ECSCW solicits reports reflecting a rich variety of quantitative and qualitative research methods, including field studies and participatory approaches.… read more. “Call: ECSCW 2011 – The Twelfth European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work”

INPUT_OUTPUT
Adaptive Materials and Mediated Environments

SPONSORED BY
TEMPLE UNIVERSITY | TYLER SCHOOL OF ART | ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT

The symposium and exhibition are part of the annual Design Philadelphia Festival.

Symposium: Oct. 8
Exhibition: Oct. 6-19

Tyler School of Art, Main Campus

“INPUT_OUTPUT: Adaptive Materials and Mediated Environments” will address the convergence of several significant and fundamental advancements in the ways that materials and environments are designed, evaluated, and experienced within architecture and related disciplines. The emergence of new and ultra-performing materials, parametric design and modeling tools, integrated design technologies, and developing digital fabrication and prototyping techniques establish an interconnected network of technological inputs that has stimulated the development of materials, assemblies, and systems with adaptive environmental behaviors. This symposium will interrogate the relationships that exist between each of four discrete, yet interrelated technologies of adaptive materials: Material Compositions, Material Fabrications, Material Behaviors, and Material Computations.… read more. “Call: INPUT_OUTPUT: Adaptive Materials and Mediated Environments symposium/exhibition”
