Background and Aim of the Conference
The Human.Society@Internet conference was first started in May 2000 with the
aim of providing an annual forum for the exchange of ideas and research
results among professionals and students interested in following the
expanding uses of the Internet, issues and solutions to their possible ill
effects, and issues and solutions to supporting the uses of the Internet.
Each year the conference has drawn over 300 attendees. In 2000 and 2002, the
conference was organized as a Korea-only conference, while in 2001 it was
organized as a Pacific Asia regional conference. In 2003 the conference will
be an international conference involving not only the Pacific Asia region,

not limited to, digital rights violations, frauds in electronic commerce,
mobile commerce and auctions, identify thefts, spam mails, viruses, hacking,
cyber terror and cyber warfare, invasion of privacy, etc.
Track II: Technical Solutions to Support the Uses of the Internet and Cure
the Ill Effects of the Internet
3. technical solutions to better support key and emerging
uses of the Internet, as mentioned above.
4. technical solutions to address possible ill effects from
the uses of the Internet, as mentioned above.
