(that may or may not be collectively authored) that panel members 
respond and contribute to. Panel proposals ought to include a draft 
position statement (maximum of 500 words) and list the members of the

contribution to debate and ideas in the field.

++what is dac?++ DAC is an international conference focusing on new 
media theory and practice in critical contexts. It has nurtured a 
significant international community of young and innovative 
researchers, artists and
scholars in the interdisciplinary field of new media, and has become 
the benchmark conference for research and collaborative endeavour in 
new media. DAC has always offered a specialised forum that has 
emphasised the importance of bringing together leading practitioners 
for the exchange of ideas and to develop international professional 
networks and knowledge economies. MelbourneDAC:Streaming Wor(l)ds 
recognises and intends to
continue this role through the papers, panels, and forums it hosts, 
and the innovative series of collaborative workshops and events that 
will be undertaken by all conference participants. The mission of 
MelbourneDAC is to
not only exchange ideas and promote new developments in digital arts 
and culture but to ensure that all participants develop relevant and 
sustainable professional communities.

The first DAC conference was held at the University of Bergen, 
Norway, in 1998 under the auspices of the Norwegian Research Council. 
It has since been hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology 
(1999), The University of Bergen (2000), and Brown University (2001). 
MelbourneDAC:Streaming Wor(l)ds is the first time that DAC will be 
held in the southern hemisphere and will provide a regional focus 
within the international DAC community.
