THE GOOD LIFE IN A TECHNOLOGICAL AGE
Multidisciplinary Workshop at the University of Twente, The Netherlands
June 12-14, 2008
Organized by Philip Brey (chair), Adam Briggle, Ed Spence, Johnny Soraker
Department of Philosophy, University of Twente and 3TU.Centre for Ethics
and Technology, the Netherlands.
Maximum number of participants: 32
This workshop will consider the implications of contemporary technology
for the quality of life, and will examine approaches from philosophy and
social and behavioural science for studying the quality of life in a
technological age. Since the industrial revolution, modern technology
has seriously impacted day-to-day life and has engendered changing
ideals of the good life. In recent years, new technologies in the
information, medical, industrial, and other sectors have further
impacted everyday life. In this workshop, different disciplinary
perspectives, from philosophy, psychology, economics and other fields,
will be employed to interpret and evaluate contemporary relations
between technology and the quality of life.
CONFIRMED SPEAKERS:
Philip Brey, Department of Philosophy, University of Twente, Netherlands
Luigino Bruni, Department of Economics, University of Milan-Bicocca, Italy
Charles Ess, Interdisciplinary studies, Drury University, USA
Jeroen van den Hoven, Department of Philosophy, Delft University of
Technology, Netherlands
Anton Tupa, Department of Philosophy, University of Florida, USA
Ruut Veenhoven, Department of Social Sciences, Erasmus University Rotterdam
Peter-Paul Verbeek, Department of Philosophy, University of Twente,
Netherlands
More invited speakers will be announced on http://ceptes.nl/glita
TOPICS INCLUDE:
-- Philosophical and empirical methods for studying the good life and
quality of life in a technological culture
-- Implications of modern technology for the quality of life
-- Hedonist, desire-satisfactionist and objective list accounts of
contemporary life
-- Quality of life, consumer culture and consumer technologies
-- Quality of life, political philosophies and technology policy
-- Quality of life, sustainability and the environment
-- Quality of life and information technology
-- Quality of life and biomedical technology
-- New technologies and changing ideals of the good life
-- Welfare economics and technology
-- Happiness studies and technology
We are looking for contributions that employ conceptions of the quality
of life or well-being that go beyond traditional social-economical
quality-of-life indices, and that consider either the subjective
preferences and psychological states of persons (as in psychology and
welfare economics) or particular normative ideals of the good life (as
developed in philosophy).
SUBMISSION OF EXTENDED ABSTRACTS:
Authors should submit an electronic version of an extended abstract
(1000-1500 words). The abstract should be in doc, rtf or pdf format and
be submitted by email to glita_at_gw.utwente.nl before March 10, 2008.
WORKSHOP FORMAT:
Each participant will give a short presentation followed by discussion.
For invited papers a commentator will be assigned. There will be a
plenary discussion at the end of the workshop.
PUBLICATION:
We are currently considering reputable publishers for a book consisting
of the best papers from the workshop. Full papers for inclusion in the
book should be submitted before November 1, and will be peer-reviewed.
IMPORTANT DATES:
March 10 Extended abstract submission deadline
March 21 Notification of acceptance
June 12-14 Workshop
November 1 Submission of full paper (optional)
PRACTICAL INFORMATION:
There is no registration fee for the workshop, but participants cover
their own expenses for travel and accommodation (inexpensive
accommodation will be available). More information about transportation
and local accommodation can be found on our Website:

PURPOSE/HISTORY:
This set of joint conferences is the largest annual gathering of
researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied
computing. Many of the 25 joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the
premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective
fields. We anticipate to have 2,600 or more attendees from over 80
countries participating in the 2008 joint conferences.
The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research
conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common
place at a common time. The main goal is to provide a forum for
exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The
model used to form these annual conferences facilitates communication
among researchers from all over the world in different fields of
computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both
inward research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and
outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and
applications) will be covered during the conferences.
WORLCOMP'08 will be composed of research presentations, keynote
lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and
poster presentations. In recent past, keynote and/or tutorial speakers
included: Prof. Michael J. Flynn (Stanford U.); Prof. John H. Holland
(U. of Michigan, Ann Arbor); Prof. H. J. Siegel (Colorado State U.);
Prof. Barry Vercoe (MIT); Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (U. of California,
Berkeley); Prof. David Cheriton (Stanford U.), Prof. A. K. Dunker
(Indiana U. and Purdue U.); Prof. Jun Liu (Harvard U.); Dr. Jim Gettys
(developer of X Window, ...); Dr. Chris Rowen (President and CEO,
Tensilica, Inc.); and many other distinguished speakers.
