> and Workshops

>

> We are pleased to invite you to the Academic MindTrek conference  

> from 28th - 30th September

> 2011, which brings together a cross-disciplinary crowd of people to  

> investigate current and

> emerging topics of media in the ubiquitous arena. Among the media to  

> be discussed, will be

> business, social, technical and content-related topics. September  

> 6th is the main Academic day,

> featuring the following themes:

>

> Social Media

> ?Get social!? Social media and Web 2.0 technologies are applied in  

> ever diverse practices both

> in private and public communities. Totally new business models are  

> emerging, traditional

> communication and expression modalities are challenged, and new  

> practices are constructed in

> the collaborative, interactive media space.

>

> Ambient and Ubiquitous Media

> ?The medium is the message!? ? This conference track focuses on the  

> definition of ambient and

> ubiquitous media with a cross-disciplinary viewpoint: ambient media  

> between technology, art,

> and content. The focus of this track is on applications, theory, art- 

> works, mixed reality concepts,

> the Web 3.0, and user experiences that make ubiquitous and ambient  

> media tick.

>

> Digital Games

> The culture and business of digital games is becoming increasingly  

> varied. The current trends

> range from novel interface innovations and digital distribution  

> channels to social game dynamics

> and player-generated content. The games track is open for  

> theoretical works, empirical case

> studies and constructive projects.

>

> Open Source

> The last decade has seen a significant increase in open source  

> initiatives such as open source

> software, open standards, open content, open media, or even open  

> source hardware. On the

> one hand, the open movement has created new kinds of opportunities  

> such as new business

> models and development approaches. On the other hand, it has  

> introduced new kinds of

> technical and non-technical challenges.

>

> Media Business, Media Production and Media Management

> Media business and media management face the challenges of the  

> emergence of new forms of

> digital media. This theme focuses on business studies, policies,  

> practices, and organizational

> structure of media firms. It discusses competition, patterns of  

> media usage, advertising models,

> and how traditional media can cope with the challenges coming from  

> digital media focusing on

> media business and media management issues.

>

> In addition, special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials,  

> demonstrations, workshops, and

> multidisciplinary sessions) will be held parallel to the MindTrek  

> business conference.  Academic

> speakers and authors are warmly welcome to attend the business  

> conference tracks as part of

> the academic conference fee during these days as well.

>

> The MindTrek Association hosts MindTrek as a yearly conference,  

> where the Academic

> MindTrek conference has been a part of this unique set of events  

> comprising competitions,

> world famous keynote speakers, plenary sessions, media festivals,  

> and workshops since 1997.

> It is a meeting place where experts and thinkers present results  

> from their latest work regarding

> the development of Internet, interactive media, and the information  

> society. MindTrek brings

> together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines that  

> are involved in the

> development of media in various fields, ranging from sociology and  

> the economy, to technology.

>

> The organizing committee invites you to submit original high quality  

> full papers, long or short,

> addressing the special theme and the topics, for presentation at the  

> conference and inclusion in

> the proceedings.

>

> Academic MindTrek 2011 offers a wider spectrum of topic areas that  

> previously, and we are

> looking forward for:

> - oral presentation of fresh and innovative ideas

> - artistic installations and running system prototypes
