Papers that discuss paradigm-shifting ideas, controversial issues, or a future beyond current technology are highly welcome. As a rough guideline, papers that fit typical technical conferences are not suitable for this track. The following directions may be interesting, although other directions are also welcome, as long as they are thinking outside the conventional box. - controversial technologies - emerging interdisciplinary research - human-centered computing and networking - new tasks for humans in human-involved networks - human channels and humans in the loop - human-centered computing and networking - future biometrics - radical identity management - new kinds of privacy e.g. for humans interacting with machines - new paradigms for computational modelling - social network based computations - novel solutions to open problems in critical infrastructure protection - new issues, problems and/or solutions for energy efficiency & green technology - economics modelling of new computer science problems Journal Special Issue Selected best papers from this track that are relevant to human-involved issues will feature in a special issue of the Future Generation Computer Systems journal [www.elsevier.com/locate/future] published by Elsevier (SCI & EI indexed; 2010 impact factor 2.229). Submission and Publication Information The accepted papers from this conference/special track will be published by IEEE Computer Society in IEEE proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex and ISTP).
