xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Call For Participation xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx HOIT-94 Home-Oriented Informatics, Telematics & Automation Copenhagen, June 27. - July 1. 1994 A cross-disciplinary International Working Conference organised by IFIP Working Group 9.3 HOIT (Home Oriented Informatics & Telematics) in co-operation with the University of Copenhagen and DANFIP, under sponsorship from The Danish Council of Technology, The Danish Ministry of Education, TeleDanmark and others Scope The Conference will assess and conceptualise perspectives and options, which attach to, and connect, developments of Domestic Informatics, Telematics and Automatics across the levels of consumer hard- and software, network infrastructures, storage & distribution media, teleservices and socio-cultural & economic structures. Can these technologies be used to empower consumers and private households? Can they contribute to the developing of a new Home Concept, an "OIKOS", where the private household will be re-established as a living- and production centre, embedded in and interacting with a larger community? We shall present and exchange experience, results of research and ideas, but also explore and discuss strategic approaches and possible alliances for product research and -development, prototyping and field experiments. We will discuss the changing position and importance of households in the new social and economic structures and possible strategies for creating professional and public awareness of the joint potentials and implications of constructive innovations for everyday life and for social, cultural, educational, health, energy, and economic policies. Hopefully we shall be able to construe new ways of organising relations between research and product development which can further the long- term ecological, psychosocial and democratic interest of consumers, and save producers from waste of investments in development and production of products and services which are doomed to failure. Time and Location The Conference will take place June 27 - July 1 1994 at The Psychological Laboratory of The Humanistic Faculty, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The address of the University is: 88 Njalsgade, DK-2300 Copenhagen This is only 1 1/2 km from the Town Hall Square and Tivoli. Frequent busses will take you there in 7 minutes, if you do not prefer to walk (app. 30 minutes). Average temperature at that time of the year is 21 degrees (C), and there is only a few hours between sunset and sunrise - and a very lively nightlife. Conference Policy We plan to organise the Conference with a minimum of plenum presentations. Most of the time we will be organised in stable parallel groups, where participants will decide among themselves how much time to allocate for individual presentations, and how much for discussion. This minimises the difference between papers and short contributions. The distinction will be in the length of the printed version, available at the Conference. Actually we invite all non paper presenting participants to provide a one page written position paper which (if received by us before May 27th) we will include in the proceedings. Also we would like to receive a passport photo of each participant, in order to further mutual recognition on the basis of browsing the proceedings. Please include it with your registration or send it at your earliest convenience. ******************************************************************** Preliminary Conference Programme Reception The Conference Reception Desk will be open already Sunday afternoon from 15.00 to 21.00. We will offer a snack and a drink or two, and you can register and pick up your copy of the proceedings.

Kresten Bjerg and Kim Borreby are moderating the group, and a listserver is set up so you can read and post to the group, if only you have access to e- mail. You just have to send an e-mail to >listserv@coco.ihi.ku.dk< writing in the first line: subscribe home-l >your name< Whoever does that, will receive the postings from comp.home.misc. We are suggesting that all abstracts submitted to the HOIT-94 Conference are posted in comp.home.misc as soon as possible, and that early versions of final papers be added in the next months. We hope this can stimulate a fruitful mutual exchange of comments, challenges to premises and clarification of positions. If we succeed in cultivating this process right from the beginning, at least it should prepare the soil for a more rewarding exchange during the Conference proper, - and after! When the authors post their HOIT abstracts to comp.home.misc, the moderator will add the flag "HOIT-94:" in the subject line for easy identification.
