The University of New Brunswick (UNB) will
host the Eleventh International Workshop on Telework, August 28–31,
2006 in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. This year’s Workshop will
be the first held in North America, occurring in Canada’s first city to
support a free urban wireless network. The aim of the event is to
generate interaction and the sharing of ideas among academic
researchers and business practitioners around the development and
maintenance of computer-mediated networks. All papers selected for
presentation will become part of the printed proceedings, which will be
available to all registrants. Authors of select articles will also be
invited to submit their paper for publication in a forthcoming book. </p>
<p class="indented">The theme of the 2006 workshop is "<span
class="style1">e-Networks in an Increasingly Volatile World</span>".
The increasing rate of technological innovation and a growing concern
for continuity through periods of large-scale interruptions from
natural, technological, and human-induced events are some factors
contributing to a heightened sense of uncertainty and social
turbulence. A major challenge today is how individuals, organizations
and regions can leverage human capital to collaborate through
unprecedented and complex work/life-scenarios. This workshop looks
specifically at examining work strategies that involve e-networks that
contribute to greater preparedness. We currently invite papers in the
following themes:</p>
<p class="style1">Special Streams for Workshop 2006</p>
<p style="padding-left: 3em;">1) Mitigating risk via E-networks.<br>
2) Creating public infrastructures that support E-networks<br>
3) Work/life balance: The tangled web of work and home networks.<br>
</p>
<p class="style1">Standing E-Work Streams</p>
<p style="padding-left: 3em;">1) Organizational Change (complexity,
ambiguity, conflict)<br>
2) E-Collaboration, Technological Innovations & Support (platforms,
collaboration) <br>
3) Workspace Design (facilities, virtual space)<br>
4) HRM Practices (diversity, professional development, retention)<br>
