C.HCI&ID 2015 - Fourth International Workshop on Collaboration: Human-Centered Issues & Interactivity Design (C.HCI&ID 2015)

The 2015 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2015)is targeted “to address, explore and exchange information on the state-of-the-art in collaboration enterprises, their modeling and simulation, design and use, applications, and their impact.”
The 2015 Workshop on Collaboration: Human-Centered Issues & Interactivity Design (C.HCI&ID 2015) focuses specifically on the human-centered issues connected to collaboration technologies and system. We are especially interested in the contexts of how human-computer interaction (HCI) and interactivity design are implicated in collaboration. The human-centered issues include the social implications of technologies and systems for collaboration, the sustainability implications, ethics, privacy, diversity and social inclusion, health, and other concerns at the nexus of human collaboration needs and practices and the mediation of collaborations by technologies and systems.
CALL FOR PAPERS
This Workshop on Collaboration: Human-Centered Issues & Interactivity Design (C.HCI&ID 2015) will be held as part of the 2015 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2015). We anticipate and especially invite papers from a broad range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary backgrounds. Special emphasis in the reviewing will be given to allow for transdisciplinarity in the contributions with wide tolerance and acceptance of the differences between specific disciplinary mores of methods and domains of expertise. Contributions may take the form of original research reporting, essays and interpretations, conceptual design studies, design case studies, experience studies, and other forms. Regardless of contribution form, accepted papers will be formally archived in the IEEE library (to be confirmed) and are expected to be of archival scholarly quality.
Special Theme
This year the track has a special theme: Collaboration for Sustainability and Adaptation to Climate Change. Papers relating to this special theme are particularly encouraged.
