***** EXTRENDED DEADLINE FOR 2nd ROUND CONTRIBUTIONS: MARCH 19, 2022 *****

Scope
-----
Interdisciplinary thinking is a key success factor for any community. "Exploring Future Computing" is the motto of the 22nd I4CS, to be held from June 13 until 15, 2022 in Delft/The Netherlands, dedicated to challenging aspects around modern community systems, services, and applications.

We would like to invite the academic community to Delft, a lovely place and one of the oldest Dutch cities, located close to the seat of the government in The Hague. It is well known for its famous blue ceramics and delicate cheese. The Delft University of Technologies will offer the I4CS 2022 a perfect venue to meet.

Due to the rapid evolution of web technologies and rich mobile Internet devices, ICT support for communities is possible on the next quality level. In search of innovative solutions, multi-disciplinary collaboration among researchers, service providers, and industry partners is essential to invent novel Internet Community Services. The I4CS is a direct follower of the former I2CS (International Conference on Innovative Internet Community Systems).
