The First International Workshop on
Contents Creation Activity Support by Networked Sensing (CCASNS)
June 16, 2008
http://www.mediaexprimo.jp/CCASNS/
Held in conjunction with The 5th International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems
http://www.inss-conf.org
Kanazawa, Japan
Networked sensing is expected to help us create various kinds of contents based on the activities in our daily lives. Network sensing includes not only real world sensing technologies such as those found in tangible interfaces and ubiquitous or wearable computing, but also mining technologies of cyberspace such as webspaces or social networking services. People express themselves and their feelings in forms such as text (ex. diaries or poems), images (ex. drawings, computer graphics or photographs), sounds (ex. clapping, singing, playing musical instruments), videos (ex. video-blogs of daily life) or combinations of these media with various kinds of annotation.
Networked sensing will enhance and enrich people's contents creation activities by capturing daily activities with sensors embedded in the environment, user interfaces or Web applications. Sensor data mining technology and pattern recognition technologies are important for recognizing user activities or situations such as their interests and social networks, and subsequent adding of annotations to those contents. The design of online spaces for the generation of community will also influence the motivations or incentives of users. Combining virtual spaces and real world workshops will accelerate content-creation activities by supporting users in their learning of certain expression methodologies. Users will be stimulated by other's contents and create contents collaboratively. Cultural programs, which shape user activities from the perspective of media society will actively support contents creation in a sustainable manner.
In the workshop, we will share attendees' backgrounds and discuss about networked sensing, contents-creation activities, cyberspace, real world workshops and cultural programs. Demonstrations or deploying supporting systems for the workshop itself are highly welcome.
