CALL FOR PAPERS
The Second Kyoto Meeting on Digital Cities
October 18-20, 2001 Kyoto Research Park, Kyoto, Japan

As a platform for community networks, information spaces using the city 
metaphor are being developed in worldwide: Amsterdam, Helsinki, Paris, 
Shanghai, and Kyoto, to name only some well-known examples. It is interesting 
to note that digital cities have different goals: to explore a vertical market, 
a public communication space, a next generation metropolitan network, and a 
social information infrastructure for the 21st century. Their different 
services, system architectures, and organizations result from these different 
goals, and from the different social contexts in which the digital cities 
emerged. This second Kyoto meeting aims at improving our understanding of the 
current status and future of those classes of systems that are covered by the 
concept of digital city. What are feasible models? What do experiments teach 
us? What new technologies emerge?

The aim of this meeting is to encourage the activity in this field, and to 
bring together both computer science and social science people concerned with 
digital cities. The meeting is composed of a one-day symposium followed by a 
two-day workshop. The symposium consists invited talks and panels and is open 
to public. The workshop participation is by invitation only and is limited to 
around 50 professionals who have made significant contributions to the topic of 
the meeting. All invitees are requested to submit papers to the workshop. All 
accepted papers will be published as a volume from Springer-Verlag. You can 
find the post-proceedings of the first Kyoto meeting as follows:

Digital Cities: Experiences, Technologies and Future Perspectives, Lecture 
Notes in Computer Science, 1765, Springer-Verlag, 2000.
