CABS 2017 - 8th ACM International Conference on Collaboration Across Boundaries: Culture, Distance & Technology

Work that has previously been presented or published in a language other than English may be translated and submitted to CABS. Please refer to the statement by ACM SIGCHI regarding the statement on "Re-publication of work in English that was previously published in another language."
To facilitate the interdisciplinary reviewing process, authors of full papers are asked to categorize their papers by theme (one of three themes) to help us direct papers to the most appropriate reviewers. The three themes are: Communication & Management, Computer-Mediated Collaboration, and Cross-linguistic Communication. Although some papers will fit within multiple themes and others may not be an ideal fit for any of them, we ask the authors to choose the closest theme. We will strive to recruit the most appropriate reviewers for all papers.
Below are examples of types of contributions a paper in any of the three themes can make to CABS:
DESCRIPTIONS of intercultural and multilingual experiences: Dynamics of global teams, social networks and communities of practice, globally distributed work in virtual context, language use in multicultural and global teams.
METHODOLOGIES and frameworks for studying global collaboration: Developing instruments for measuring culture including surveys, experimental paradigms, computational frameworks, etc..
THEORIES and models for understanding cultures such as modeling culture, intercultural collaboration, and language varieties.
EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATIONS of intercultural collaboration: Field studies of intercultural collaboration in global organizations and/or in local communities, ethnographic studies on different infrastructure and media use across nations, laboratory studies on the use of technologies, etc..
TRANSLATION and transition of language and practice: Use of language on the Internet, translating different norms and shaping new practices in global teams, issues of translating language and practices, effects of e-learning on culture diversity.
DOMAIN-SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS for collaboration across boundaries: Education/learning, global enterprise, information and knowledge management/sharing.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES for collaboration across boundaries: HCI technologies, robots, conversational agents, language and speech technologies to overcome culture and language barriers.
