Focusing on the cultural impact of the internet, researchers gathered at the June 2006 conference to explore the identity of digital actors within virtual environments, the intellectual origin of digital materials, and the accuracy of digital information. The 50 papers are organized into sections on new learning, psychology, e-culture, e-governance, e- commerce, and data and information privacy. Topics include internet addiction, the information literacy of primary school students in rural Taiwan, a training model to develop design in the virtual design studio, and global dissent in the management of cyberspace resources. The U.S. office of WIT Press is Computational Mechanics.
