We are proud to invite you to participate in the 2005 conference in 
Aarhus, entitled

 "Critical Computing - between Sense and Sensibility"

Continuing the tradition from the conferences in 1975, 1985 and 1995, 
it is the aim of the fourth Aarhus conference to provide a forum for 
the exploration and development of new perspectives for critical 
computing.

As information technology reaches out from the workplace to virtually 
all aspects of human life, the scope of critical IT research expands 
from a focus on designing computer support for quality of working 
life to new frontiers. These frontiers include the home, leisure 
time, citizen services, public spaces as well as the workplace. We 
face new challenges for technology support and new pitfalls regarding 
the ways in which people sense and form meaningful environments.

Critical Computing is a multi-disciplinary conference in 
participatory design, interaction design, CSCW, social computing, 
digital art and entertainment addressed from a variety of disciplines 
like computer science, sociology, psychology, ethnography, 
architecture, and aesthetics.

Topics for contributions include, but are not limited to:

* Objectives of critical computing e.g.: Is empowerment still the 
objective? How is the balance between tradition and innovation 
affected in the new contexts of use?

* Design ideals e.g.: How do we understand and use invisible 
computers, ambient intelligence, etc.?

* Context e.g.: How will our environment be affected? 
Aesthetically?Ergonomically? Ethically?

* Scope and quality e.g.: How do we define design quality when there 
is no work to support? How do we assess relevance, sense and 
sensibility of computing artefacts?

* Design processes e.g.: Which new kinds of processes do we initiate 
to involve users in design of computing systems and artefacts for 
homes, semi-public and fully public spaces? How do we bridge between 
work and other aspects of human lives?

* Research method, e.g.: How can IT research adapt issues of 
sustainability, both environmental, social and economical?

Submission categories:
* Full papers
* Workshops
* Panels
* Poster/short paper
* Interactive papers/demos
* Doctoral Colloquium

The conference encourages presentations of examples in terms of 
cases, systems, applications and conceptual frameworks that 
contribute to the understanding of the new issues and design values. 
In keeping with the tradition of the Aarhus Conferences, this 
conference will encourage new types of presentations, including such 
that ask for active participation from the audience.
