Culture and Computing is a new research area which aims to overcome different cultural issues in international communities using information and communication technologies (ICT). There are various research directions in the relations between culture and computing: to archive cultural heritages via ICT (cf. digital archives), to empower humanities researches via ICT (cf. digital humanities), to create art and expressions via ICT (cf. media art), to realize a culturally situated agent (cf. cultural agent), to
support multi-language, multi-cultural societies via ICT (cf. intercultural collaboration), and to understand new cultures born in the Internet and Web (cf. net culture).

Culture and Computing 2015 will also be organized with an exhibition on the integration of state of the art cultural computing technologies and Japanese traditional culture, along with organized sessions, poster sessions and demonstrations. There will be a performance of Kyogen (a form of traditional Japanese comic theater) in social events. The keynote talk and the invited talk in Culture and Computing 2015 are shown below.

- Keynote Talk: Music cultures opened up by music technologies (Dr. Masataka Goto, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan)

- Invited Talk: Antoni Gaudí and his role in forming a traditional craft - digital culture continuum (Professor Mark Burry, Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, University of Melbourne, Australia)

We invite submission to a wide range of venues including papers, posters, and demos. Submissions are solicited on any aspect on the intersection of culture and computing, but are expected to be suitable for a multidisciplinary audience.
