CALL FOR PAPERS
The Second All Hands Meeting of the Digital Economy will focus on the
theme of Digital Engagement. The meeting is sponsored by the RCUK
Digital Economy Programme. This programme seeks to transform the lives
of people, communities and businesses through the design and deployment
of innovative information and communication technologies. It includes
formal paper sessions, posters, workshops, demonstrations, and a special
issue publication. This enthusiastic, multidisciplinary environment is
the ideal venue to meet other innovative thinkers and share ideas about
how to make an impact in various sectors, such as government, transport,
health and creative industries, increasing the potential for improving
quality of life, social inclusion and sustainability.

TOPICS
------
We seek submissions for papers focusing on the theme of digital
engagement where topics may include, but are not limited to:
* Digital Inclusion
* Connected Home and Community
* Healthcare
* Digital Innovation
* Culture and Creative Industries
* Transport
* Enterprise and Culture
* Energy



Submissions are welcome from anyone in the research or industrial
community whether funded by the Digital Economy Programme or not. A
continuing goal of the programme is to create a community in the UK that
is capable of world class, leading research in the Digital Economy and
one that produces trained researchers with the necessary
cross-disciplinary skills to have real impact in this area. This All
Hands Meeting is a key event designed to encourage the development of
this community. Thus, discussion and community building will be a key
part of this event, with the overall theme of digital engagement.
