Ethics, Cybernetics and Informatics are being increasingly related both: conceptually and instrumentally. A twofold purpose guides the organization of Info-CybernEthics 2007 in the context of WMSCI 2007:
To bring together researchers and practitioners working in this interdisciplinary domain with the objectives of:
Enriching the international reflection on the importance of the ethical and societal aspects of the Information Society.
Promoting a balanced overview on controversial issues and fostering the presentation of conflicting and clashing opinions.
Highlighting the conceptual, theoretical, and philosophical relationships between Cybernetics and Ethics, especially in the case of Second Order Cybernetics.
To expose and acquaint the usual audience of WMSCI conferences to the very relevant and important issues which are emerging in the interdisciplinary domains of Info-Ethics and Info-Cybernetics.

Learner-Centred Design (LCD) is a methodology used in the development of educational systems which involves the learner and any other relevant stakeholders in the design process. Stakeholders such as learners, parents and teachers may be involved in this process as fully-fledged design partners, as a source of information which is fed into the design or as a tester of prototypical systems. This is invaluable for requirements gathering through observation of current practice, critiquing of existing systems, low-tech prototyping and formative evaluation of high-tech prototypes.
A related, but distinctly different area, is Design Patterns. In general, such patterns make explicit sound practices of how to solve repeatedly-occurring design problems and provide re-usable knowledge for creating systems. Since the origin of design patterns in the area of architecture in 1977, analogous approaches have been developed in a variety of domains. In particular, in the last decade, design patterns have been used extensively in software engineering and, more specifically, have recently been applied to human-computer interaction, groupware and software development.
Since both techniques draw on the identification of guidelines of how to design systems, this workshop aims to explore the potential synergy between these two approaches specifically in the context of the design of AIED systems. The workshop will consist of a series of presented papers in these areas. Contributors will also be asked to provide accompanying posters of their work to facilitate discussion throughout the day. The workshop will conclude with a plenary session led by an expert panel drawing together the effective techniques that have been running themes within the workshop presentations.

The 13th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 2007) is in an ongoing series of biennial international conferences for top quality research in cognitive science and intelligent systems for educational computing applications. The conference thus provides opportunities for the cross-fertilization of information and ideas from researchers in the many fields that make up this interdisciplinary research area, including: artificial intelligence, other areas of computer science, cognitive science, education, learning sciences, educational technology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, and the many domain-specific areas for which AIED systems have been designed and built.
From 12 July 2007 till 13 July 2007 Location: London, UK
The challenge of ensuring that citizens and employees are equipped with the skills and competencies needed to live and work in the 21st century has never been more urgent. Demographic trends, global competition and technological advances make it even more imperative to raise the level of skills and ensure that these are maintained in line with rapid evolutions.
This aim of this conference is to bring together representatives of education, training, industry, government and trade unions in order to identify and share innovative and productive policy and practice in the domain of development of key competencies. Its aim also is to forge international links and produce action plans for ongoing collaboration and development.
From 12 July 2007 till 15 July 2007 Location: Orlando, Florida
Relationships between Education/Training and Information/Communication Technologies (ICT) are increasing acceleratingly, sometimes in unexpected ways, with original ideas and innovative tools, methodologies and synergies. Accordingly the main purpose of EISTA ’07 is to bring together researchers and practitioners from both areas, in order to support the bridging process between education/training and ICT communities.
From 12 July 2007 till 15 July 2007 Location: Orlando, Florida
Es un hecho conocido que la participación en conferencias es uno de los medios de Comunicación del Conocimiento. Por otro lado, Comunicaciones del Conocimiento con respecto a propósitos de las conferencias, fines/medios, estándares de calidad (y medios para alcanzarlos), etc, podrían ser una manera efectiva para mejorar la organización y calidad de las conferencias.
From 12 July 2007 till 15 July 2007 Location: Orlando, Florida
The basic purpose of the Organizing Committee of SOIC '07 is to a provide a forum for disciplinary and interdisciplinary communications, where researchers (in Social and Natural Sciences, as well as in Engineering), intellectuals, policy/decision makers and Consultants would share the results of their research, studies and thoughts, with regards to societies and private/public organizations in the context of the Information Age.
From 12 July 2007 till 15 July 2007 Location: Orlando, Florida, USA
CITSA '07 is an International Multi-Conference being organized with the purpose of providing researchers, practitioners, developers, consultants, and end-users of computerized, communications and/or control systems and technologies, as well as their industrial and social applications in the private and the public sectors, an opportunity to join in a common place sharing experience and knowledge. It is intended to be a forum to expose and share current and future research work and innovations in these areas, as well as in the relationships among them.
One of the primary objectives of CITSA '07 is to promote and encourage "interdisciplinary cross-fertilization", "epistemic things" and the production of "technical objects". Its intellectual perspective context is systemic thinking and practice, including the analogical thinking that characterizes the Systems Approach.

Designing effective computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments in an efficient affordable way is a demanding task, which requires creativity and a significant amount of expertise. We could state that patterns give even experienced designers a common language for discussing their ideas amongst peers and provide CSCL researchers convenient shorthand for expressing research results.
The scope of this workshop is to identify the way of linking design patterns with authentic cases and thus towards a better elicitation process for patterns of various kinds, e.g. system oriented patterns, learning flow design patterns, subject oriented patterns.
From 18 July 2007 till 20 July 2007 Location: Niigata, Japan
