April 24, 2006 - ISEA2006 SYMPOSIUM PAPERS ONLINE FORUM April 24th - May 29th at http://01sj.org/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,149/

Beginning Monday, April 24th, ISEA2006 will host a month long series of discussions on the accepted paper abstracts for each of the Symposium themes: Interactive City, Community Domain, Pacific Rim and Transvergence. An important objective to ISEA2006 is enabling conversation and discourse between audience(s) and presenters. Toward that objective this years ISEA incorporates a single main track of presentations + artists presentations combined with a pre-publishing model. The reading of papers is not permitted. Instead authors will present their abstracts in the on-line Forum and then pre-publish full manuscripts weeks prior to the Symposium. The goal is to inform and influence both authors and audiences as well as create conversational relationships and provide for advanced consideration of topics to be presented at the Symposium. At ISEA2006 each theme will have two extended 'conversational' sessions in which several authors present summaries of their papers followed by a moderated conversation and audience interaction. For schedule and more details click here.
