ECSCW 2013 - The 13th European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW 2013)

The 13th European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW 2013)
21-25 September 2013, Paphos, Cyprus.
website: http://www.ecscw2013.org/
Submission deadline for full papers and notes: 4 February, 2013.
General Chair: George Angelos Papadopoulos.
Program Chairs: Olav W. Bertelsen and Antonietta Grasso.
ECSCW 2013 calls for submissions reporting on investigations into
cooperation in real
world settings and designs of innovative technologies to support collaboration.
ECSCW is interested in cooperative settings in the workplace, in
everyday life, and the
civic society, and across boundaries between these spheres of life.
The conference is soliciting high quality contributions that advance
the state of the art
in CSCW:
- empirical studies of work that contribute to the design space,
- novel techniques and technologies,
- enhancement of the conceptual foundations.
In particular, the conference welcomes contributions that focus on:
- Empirical studies of collaboration in settings ranging from work to
civic engagement
and everyday life.
- Comparative analyses of empirical studies that contribute to a
deeper understanding of
domain specific or more general CSCW principles.
- Empirical studies on the appropriation of innovative technologies.
- Studies on collaborative work in emergent and developing economies.
- Investigations into the usage and design of coordination artefacts
as well as webs of
technology (infrastructures).
- New technology-enabled forms of organization and virtual organizing.
- Innovative technologies, applications, or functionality in support
of collaborative
work.
- Conception, construction and use of CSCW technologies in complex and
demanding settings,
like manufacturing, software engineering, healthcare, care giving,
security, and control
systems.
- Architectures supporting CSCW technologies with quality requirements, such as
flexibility, tailorability, and adaptability.
- Ubiquitous and mobile computing in collaborative settings: empirical
research of use,
studies of integration with other CSCW technologies and applications.
- Innovative use of social media to support collective action.
All contributions will be rigorously evaluated in terms of their
novelty, significance,
quality, and contribution to the discipline. Accepted research papers
and notes will be
included in the conference proceedings published by Springer and
freely available at the
ECSCW website at: www.ecscw.org. They will also be indexed in and
available through the
ACM digital library.
ECSCW 2013 requires that submissions have not been published
previously and that papers
submitted are not under simultaneous review for any other publication.
