Call for Papers

We invite to offer papers (2 page extended abstract) by April 1, 2009 (by email to both Sandra Hoferichter and Wolfgang Kleinwächter). We encourage submissions of early work, with novel and interesting ideas, across the full range of research on:

The current plan is for the first day to have four sessions on the "Internet of Things". This part of the workshop is open for external participants (Non EURO-NF Members). It is organized in conjunction with an expert meeting of the IGF Dynamic Coalition of the Internet of Things. This part can be seen also as a follow up of the series of EU Conferences on the "Internet of Things" (Bled, April 2008; Nice, October 2008; Praha, May 2009).

The second day is more for internal EURO-NF WP 3 discussion. We will have four sessions around the four WPs of the Socio-Economic Dimension of the EURO-NF Project. If needed, extra slots can be reserved to meetings of sub-groups.

Bringing different EURO-NF and Non EURO-NF constituencies together we hope to stimulate fresh and innovative discussions which will produce synergies and added value to the EURO-NF WPs.

There will be no formal proceedings, but the submitted papers will be made available to members of Euro-NF. Copies of the papers will be made available on the workshop's and Euro-NF's Web sites prior to the workshop. The extended abstracts will also be the main part of a related deliverable for Euro-NF. We expect that work introduced at the workshop will appear in its final form in relevant international conferences and journals.

The 2nd EURO-NF WP 3 Workshop on Social-Economic and Governance Issues of the Network of the Future is hosted by the University of Aarhus in cooperation with Medienstadt Leipzig e.V.. The workshop is chaired by EURO-NF Steering Committee member Prof. Wolfgang Kleinwächter from the University of Aarhus.
