ISTAS is an annual international forum exploring the social implications 
of technology. ISTAS 08 will bring together participants interested in 
sharing their research, projects and ideas about:

*How citizens, groups and communities are or could be linked with 
information and communication technologies (ICT)

ISTAS 08 will be a multi-disciplinary event for engineers, computer 
scientists, researchers in the social sciences, arts and humanities, 
community-based researchers, policy makers and members of technology 
user communities. Papers and discussions will address  the social and 
technical aspects of the specific topics.
