Help needed about statistics
by mdiazdeisla 06 May '03

06 May '03

Hi dear colleagues, I am preparing an article on internet penetration. I have been looking for some data because I am interested in getting the percentage of households connected to the Internet over the total of households and the percentage of households with a broadband connection over the total of households. I would like to get the statistics from one source, because otherwise comparison among different sources is not very accurate. The countries in which I am interested in are Korea, USA, Hong King, Singapur, Taiwan, China, New Zealand, Norway, Australia. Thank you very much in advance, Mª Isabel Diaz de Isla IN3-UOC

Free Electronic Edition of the Fluxus Performance Workbook
by Ken Friedman 05 May '03

05 May '03

Performance Research has released a free digital edition of the long unavailable Fluxus Performance Workbook, a collection of short performance works and event scores by over forty artists. The first examples of what were to become Fluxus event scores date back to John Cage's famous class at The New School where artists such as George Brecht, Al Hansen, Allan Kaprow, and Alison Knowles began to create art works and performances in musical form. One of these forms was the event. Events tend to be scored in brief verbal notes known as event scores. In a general sense, they are proposals, propositions, and instructions for different kinds of actions. To accompany a special Fluxus issue of Performance Research, Ken Friedman, Owen Smith, and Lauren Sawchyn edited a fortieth anniversary edition of the Fluxus Performance Workbook. The workbook is now available in a free electronic edition. This book can be viewed on-line or downloaded. The download is a .pdf file that can also be printed. This expanded and updated edition of the Workbook contains scores by George Brecht, Jean Dupuy, Dick Higgins, Joe Jones, Bengt af Klintberg, Milan Knizak, George Maciunas, Larry Miller, Nam June Paik, Mieko Shiomi, Robert Watts, and many more.

Call for Papers Digital Cities 3 Workshop
by Peter van den Besselaar 03 May '03

03 May '03

------------------------------------------------------------ [Apologies if you receive this more than once] CALL FOR PAPERS DIGITAL CITIES III local information and communication infrastructures: experiences and challenges A workshop organized within the context of the Communities and Technologies Conference Amsterdam 19-21 September 2003 The relationship between technologies and communities is ambiguous. On the one hand, changing technologies of communication and cooperation have facilitated the changes in the way people relate to each other. Wellman has introduced the concept of networked individualism for this (3), and this points at the phenomenon that people often participate in a variety of only partly overlapping and often non-local communities. On the other hand, the role of place remains crucial important, as the local environment remains an important place of organizing and coordinating social life. Digital cities are developing on the intersection of these two phenomena: network and place. Digital cities can be seen as an effort to develop and use ICT-applications for the improvement of the local and urban infrastructure for living, working, collaboration, and communication within a networked society. Many experiments have taken place and are still taking place all over the world (see 1, 2, 3 for overviews), showing a large variation. - Some are developing advanced cutting edge technologies, others use established and well known technologies. - Some are mainly technological projects that aim at demonstrating the potential usefulness, while others are mainly social development projects, using the technology as an instrument for supporting the development of deprived groups, neighborhoods or regions. - Some are very resourceful, whereas others are low budget initiatives. - Finally, where some digital cities are merely (temporary) experiments, others are meant as sustainable part of the local infrastructures. The nature, functioning, use and sustainability of digital cities is highly dependent on contextual factors such as the political and social context, the actors involved with their different aims and resources, the organizational forms, and choices for certain technical solutions. Especially the arena of actors and organizations involved is a crucial factor in the development of digital cities. In the workshop we will discuss the state of the art in digital city experimentation and research, and build upon the lessons of the earlier workshops organized in Kyoto. We invite papers on the following topics, but the list is not exclusive. - Technologies for digital cities and community networks: development and especially evaluation of infrastructures, systems, and tools. What is 'appropriate technology' in this field? - Organizational forms of digital cities and community networks: the question of ownership and resources of local information an communication infrastructures. - ICT and social change in urban environment on different levels: examples, empirical studies, theoretical understanding. - Real and virtual public domain: differences, analogies, implications. - Interdisciplinary design approaches, methods and theories for community systems. - Digital cities / community networks and problems of privacy and identity. The objective of the workshop is to evaluate the state of the art in the field, and to formulate perspectives for research and for socio-technical design.

We aim at a discussion between social scientists, computer scientists, and practitioners with experience in constructive, reflective, and empirical research in the field of digital cities. To emphasize the cross-cultural dimensions of the research field, we will have three invited speakers from Japan, the USA, and Europe. Participants have a full paper by the end of August, to be distributed (electronically) among participants in advance. The discussion in the workshop will be organized around the main themes in the papers, as well as the new ideas and results. We aim at publishing revised versions of the workshop papers in a volume. IMPORTANT DATES: - Extended abstract due June 7 (2500 words). - Author notification June 21 - Full papers (10-15 pages) August 31 - Revised (accepted) papers November 1 EXTENDED ABSTRACT: The extended abstract should in 2500 words clearly summarize the work and results that will be fully described in the paper: - For social science papers: clearly describe in the abstract the research questions, the data and methods used, an indication of the findings and of the relevance of the findings. - For technology papers: clearly describe the abstract in the design approach and motivation of decisions made, the resulting system, and possibly an evaluation.

online supervision
by Ben Davidson 03 May '03

03 May '03

Last Summer, I put a questionnaire online to get an idea what sort of serious interest there might be from members of this list and a few others in receiving and offering online clinical supervision. At the same time I started putting a research team together to look at online supervision. I am delighted to say that the Online-supervision.net Research Team have now reached a key stage in their work. With virtually no publicity, we have had over 100 people from fifteen countries register on the online-supervision.net website, submitting an extensive questionnaire that captures their particular interest in providing or receiving online supervision. We have worked with commercial sponsors who have enabled the first phase development of a website and relational database application that will facilitate matching, introduction and communication between would-be supervisors and would-be supervisees. This is now almost ready to be launched. And we have also been developing a formal research proposal into online supervision which we will soon submit for ethics committee approval. A first draft of this can be viewed on the online-supervision.net website. If you have already registered an interest in this venture, you will around now be receiving an e-mail from the Online-Supervsiion.net Research team, asking you to review the details you supplied when you first registered and provide some further information relating to your professional qualifications and experience, for authentication purposes and to help us match you with other site users. If you have not yet registered, but think you might be interested in the work we are doing, please feel free to do so at the URL below. http://www.online-supervision.net/RegisterInterest.asp I would be extremely grateful for all feedback any of you are willing to offer, when you visit or revisit the website, regarding usability, design, functionality or indeed anything else. Cheers, Ben PS to those of you who e-mailed support(a)online-supervision.net, wondering what was happening, I'm sorry about the wait and hope the Online-supervision.net Research Team manage to communicate with registrants more regularly in future.

Here is some conference and Call for Papers information that your readers might be interested in: Miami University's Center for Interactive Media Studies' presents its fourth annual conference, "2003 Interactive Media Forum: Identity and Cultures in Cyberspace" to be held at Marcum Conference Center, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio October 27 & 28, 2003 This year's conference pushes the discussion of interactivity into the spheres of human interaction and creativity. At a basic level, we'd like to understand how people are reading, creating, communicating, learning, and interacting on the Internet. Beyond that, we'll branch into more theoretical discussion on the premise that the Internet has been described as a placeless society with unique and characteristic cultures. For the Call for Papers and more details as they are finalized, see www.muohio.edu/ims/forum. For additional information, feel free to contact cims(a)muohio.edu or at 513-529-1637.
