Place / Country

Maribor (Slovenia)

Details One of our colleagues, Rob Kling, has been working tirelessly on the topics which where at the core of the HCC Conferences. He was a founding father of IFIP-TC9. Unfortunately, he passed away on 15 May 2003, at the age of 58 years. In remembrance of his friendship and of his devotion to the field, HCC7 will be centred on “social informatics”, not firstly in the sense of clarifying the field as Rob defined it, but in collecting what he has done for foreseeing what we have to do in the future to share his views, and to promote a proactive research which will permit a “people first” in a human information society “for all”.
Human choice and computers, Computers and Society, Social Informatics, are terms referring to a similar preoccupation: How is the human being and its societal environment kept in the centre – How to build up an “Information Society for All” when developing our more and more complex ICT systems?
