[Nettime-nl] programma conferentie van internet researchers (maastricht) |
The full program: http://aoir.org/2002/ Internet Research 3.0: NET / WORK / THEORY Maastricht, The Netherlands, October 13-16 2002 The Internet has become an integral, ubiquitous part of everyday life in many social domains and international contexts. Yet, most of the public attention on cyberspace remains fueled by utopian or dystopian visions, rather than being informed by the growing body of research on the Internet as a complex fact of modern life. Internet Research (IR) 3.0, an international and interdisciplinary conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (A.o.I.R.), will feature a variety of perspectives on Internet research, in order to develop a better theoretical and pragmatic understanding of the Internet. Building on the previous well-attended international conferences, the IR 3.0 will bring together prominent scholars, researchers, and practitioners from many disciplines, fields and countries for a program of presentations, panel discussions, and informal exchanges. This year's theme is Net/Work/Theory. Contributors are called to reflect on how to theorize what we know about the Internet and on how to apply what we know theoretically in practice. The conference will be held for the first time in Europe, whose intellectual environments have traditionally been a source of social and cultural theory. IR 3.0 will be hosted by the International Institute of Infonomics in the beautiful city of Maastricht in the Netherlands. As the city in which one of the key treaties of the European Union was signed, Maastricht also symbolizes a changing Europe in a changing international setting. The conference will provide opportunities to network, learn from other researchers, hear from leading players in Internet development, and enjoy the "art of fine living" of Maastricht, in the south of the Netherlands. ***Preliminary Program*** Sunday October 13 PRECONFERENCE WORKSHOP 1: Intellectual Property for Internet Researchers PRECONFERENCE WORKSHOP 2: Social, Technical, and Democratic Origins of the Internet Monday October 14 08:00 Registration 09:00 Plenary session I Opening: Director of Infonomics Institute Luc Soete, AoIR President Steve Jones, Conference Coordinator Monica Murero Keynote speaker: Dr. Detlef Eckert, Head of Unit for Policy Planning, European Commission, Brussels 10:00 Break 10:15 Panel session 1 Panel 1A Old Methodologies, New Empirical Issues on the Internet Applying Old Media Theories to New Media: Uses & Gratifications <abstract> Jennifer Stromer-Galley, USA Flow-Experience, the Internet and its Relationship to Situation and Personality <abstract> Robert Tzanetakis, AUSTRIA Peter Vitouch, AUSTRIA Telling Stories: Using Scenario Methodologies in Internet Research <abstract> Erika Pearson, AUSTRALIA Improving Unit-Nonresponse Error Correction in Online Surveys Using Multi-Dimensional Response Models <abstract> Gerhard Lukawetz, AUSTRIA Panel 1B Information Societies around the World Cultural Indexes of Information Society: The Future of the Internet in Asia <abstract> Brian Shoesmith, AUSTRALIA Mark Balnaves, AUSTRALIA Debate on the Internet in Africa: Trends, Typology, and Characteristics <abstract> RaphaÎl Ntambue-Tshimbulu, FRANCE Accurately Measuring the Impact of Information Society/Revolution Conditions upon Public Policy Decision-Making.
