The proposed conference on the above theme will be held at the  University 
of Macau, China from July 11-13, 2011 which aims to enable researchers build 
connections between different digital applications. 

Currently, a number of institutions across the countries are working to 
evolve better models to provide collaborative technology services for 
scholarship by creating shared cyberspace thro expert collaboration, but 
this is a challenge for the institutions for a number of reasons. In the 
last few years, the landscape of digital technology applications projects 
for the various disciplines in humanities, social sciences, and sciences 
appears induced by many initiatives. For the creation of research clusters, 
the research community has thousands of databases, websites, local computing 
clusters, and web-based tools around individual themes, interests and 
projects. In most cases, these tools and resources are and were created to 
meet the specific needs of a particular community. In many cases, the 
funding and support for these critical initiatives is fragile and temporary, 
and directed in piecemeal fashion. There is a need to provide concerted 
efforts in building federated digital technologies that will enable the 
formation of network of digital technologies.
