[Asis-l] CSCW 2012 Conference Papers & Notes: expanded focus, new review process, deadline June 3

[N. Sadat Shami]

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!
