In this first conference we will find the intersection of the formal and factual sciences aimed at human-computer interaction, telecommunications, informatics and scientific information. The goal is to know the latest breakthroughs and the immediate trends, and also in the long term, of each one of the disciplines that make up the sets of the areas of knowledge we approach.

It is also a place of interchange of experiences inside and outside the teaching or educational technological context, without leaving aside the human factors that accompany the evolution of the new technologies and eradicating as much as possible the digital divide phenomenon.

All contributions –papers, workshops, demos and posters, should be of high quality, originality, clarity, significance and impact. In the current conference it is demonstrated how with a correct integration among professionals of formal and factual sciences interesting research lines in the following subjects: Human-Computer Interaction, Telecommunications, Computer Science, Artificial intelligence, Scientific Information, Journalism: Discursive Analysis, Information and Communication Technologies, Information Society, Research and Development, etc. Consequently, the discussion will be focused on – but mot limited to – the following main issues:

:: Technological and scientific information through new media

All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), non-blind, and participative peer review. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers.
