Group submission address: comp_home@vax.psl.ku.dk Moderator contact address: home_request@vax.psl.ku.dk (Kresten Bjerg) For your newsgroups file: comp.home.misc Media, technology and information in domestic spaces. (Moderated) The charter, culled from the call for votes: The group will be devoted to discussions of larger perspectives and options in research, development and use of domestic information- technology, automation and telecommunication ACROSS the levels of * consumer hard- and software * network infrastructure * storage and distribution-media * teleservices and * socio-cultural & economic structures. The forum, which this group shall establish, is primarily a forum for researchers and developpers, who are concerned with the problems, conflicts and constructive potentials cutting across the main areas of home-oriented technology research and development, i.e. bridging between the main areas of # Advanced Home Technologies (e.g. Intelligent home - Linking of TV, telephone, computer and VCR - Interactive multimedia and domestic virtual reality - Security- systems - Household appliances - Environmental control and ecology - Bio-electronics and health-monitoring.) # Communication and Telematics (e.g.Convergence of broadcast and telecom networks - Interactive teleservices and teletransactions - Teleeducation - Telework - Evolving informal networks - Home-to-Home interfacing.) # Economic and Politics of Home-oriented information technology (e.g. Interests of industry and service providers - Links between R&D and marketing - Prices and tarifs - Legal and regulatory policies on national and international level - The future of home economics.) # Cultural and social Impact on everyday life (e.g. Personal development and knowledge distribution - Intra- and interfamily relations - Functions for children, elderly, disabled and home-bound people - Community structure - Cultural continuity.) MAJOR THEMES * The social construction of new domestic technologies * The changing position and importance of households in the new social and economic structure of the global information and communication society * Strategies for creating professional, public and political awareness of the converging potentials and implications of constructive Home- oriented technological innovations for everyday life and for social, cultural, educational, health-, energy- and economic policies. * Ways of organizing relations between sufficiently cross-disciplinary research and sustainable product development. * Relevance for developing countries and cultural diversities PRAGMATICS The group will prepare inputs for relevant conferences such as the Copenhagen Conference on Home Oriented Informatics, Telematics and Automation (See: Conferences for details) and serve as forum for further discussions on topics highlighted on such occassions. The moderator will attempt to produce a modest newsletter OIKOS, where the best of discussions can be circulated on a non-profit basis- in print as well as e-mail.
