The 2006 C5 conference brought together researchers, developers, and end users from around the world to consider recent developments in the areas of creative and collaborative computing and multimedia authoring environments. The volume opens with a description of a new 3D content browser based on Croquet that has a TVML processing engine and peer-to-peer connectivity. The remaining 35 papers discuss such topics as learning in a distance and collaborative course that connected Kyoto U. and UCLA; authorization-based access control for the services oriented architecture; and idioms for composing games with EToys. The volume lacks a subject index.
