Fachgruppe CSCW

The ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Media is a premier venue for presenting research in the design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, and communities. CSCW encompasses both the technical and social challenges encountered when supporting collaboration. The development and application of new technologies continues to enable new ways of working together and coordinating activities. Although work is an area of focus, CSCW embraces research and technologies supporting a wide range of recreational and social activities using a diverse range of devices. The conference brings together top researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are interested in both technical and social aspects of collaboration.

CSCW 2012 will be held February 11-15, 2012, in Seattle, Washington, USA. The deadline for Papers & Notes submission is June 3; titles and abstracts of Papers & Notes must be submitted by May 27.

The early submission date of June 3 reflects a new review process, wherein authors of promising submissions will be given a month to revise their 10-page Papers and/or 4-page Notes to address concerns raised by reviewers and increase their potential for achieving the level of clear contribution required for a CSCW Paper or Note. We have instituted this process to promote greater diversity while maintaining the high level of quality expected of CSCW Papers and Notes. Only complete submissions will be reviewed, and not all submissions will be eligible for revision, but we hope that the opportunity for revision in some cases may help prospective authors from outside the traditional CSCW community to structure the presentation of their work in a format that is better aligned with CSCW standards.

The complete Call for Participation, including information about Workshops, CSCW Horizon, Demonstrations, Panels, Posters, Videos, the Doctoral Colloquium, and Student Volunteers – as well as Papers and Notes – can be found at cscw2012.org. You can also follow announcements about the conference on Twitter, @ACM_CSCW2012.

We look forward to your participation!

=================================

Call for Participation • Interactive Papers

The 2011 ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW 2011)

March 19-23,2011 • Hangzhou, China

=================================

Interactive Papers will be presented in a special Poster Session where researchers will interact directly with conference attendees. The posters will then remain up throughout the remainder of the conference. The major difference from the previous CSCW conferences is that the Interactive Papers for CSCW 2011 will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. Note that authors still retain copyright of the paper.

Accepted Interactive Papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings that will be circulated to attendees at registration.

Deadlines
=================================
November 19, 2010, 11:00 p.m. PDT: Submissions due via email
December 17, 2010: Notification of acceptance

Interactive Papers Submission Requirements
=================================
Interactive Papers submissions should use the Extended Abstract Format: no longer than 4 pages, including all figures and references. In addition, submissions should also include a separate Tabloid sized draft of the poster for review purposes. A Tabloid is an 11 × 17 inches format. Please submit the 4-page paper in PDF format and name this file ContactAuthorsLastName.pdf. Please submit the poster draft in PDF format and name this file ContactAuthorsLastName poster. pdf. Both the Interactive Paper and the poster draft should include author names (not anonymous submission).

Interactive Papers submissions should be e-mailed to the Interactive Papers Co-chairs atinteractive@cscw2011.org. All attachments must be less than 5MB. If your poster draft is over 5MB, please email the co-chairs with your 4-page Interactive Paper attached, and a URL from where the poster draft can be downloaded. Any questions regarding this process or from complications due to large files can be directed tointeractive@cscw2011.org.

All submissions must be received by the chairs by 11:00 p.m. (23:00) PDT on Friday, November 19, 2010. Submissions received after this date/time will not be considered. All submissions will be acknowledged by email.

All questions should be directed tointeractive@cscw2011.org.

Interactive Papers Abstract Authoring Tips
=================================
The following tips may help you prepare a successful Interactive Paper:
• State the contribution and originality of your work clearly and explicitly: What is the problem? How does your approach help? Why is it better than other available approaches?
• Interactive papers may be chosen based on either the significance of the problem or the originality of your approach.
• Focus on the contribution of your work rather than the background, including just enough background to make clear how your work differs from significant prior research.
• Include the major graphical elements that will likely be used in the poster itself.

For the poster itself, the UIST Poster Example Gallery includes a variety of successful poster designs. More poster guides can be found all over the web.

Aus der auf der Mitgliederversammlung 2009 beschlossenen ersten Version des CSCW-Curriculums wurde in den letzen Monaten mit Feedback des Fachbereichs MCI eine neue Version erarbeitet: CSCW-Curriculum V1.3. Das Curriculum soll als Ergänzung zum Curriculum für ein Basismodul zur Mensch-Computer-Interaktion (Juli 2006) zur GI-Empfehlung gemacht werden.
