DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKSHOP
The main goal of this workshop is to bring together participants interested in issues of connectivity and seamlessness for remote social interaction.

* Embeddedness of audio and video conferencing in social settings
* Interruption and seamlessness
* Integration of audio and video conferencing in the technological fabric of existing work and everyday
environments
* Conventions and rhythms of remote social interaction
* Visual and aesthetical integration of communication technology in ambient intelligence
