[Asis-l] Call for Workshops for CSCW 2016: 16 October 2015 Deadline

[Brian Keegan]

Hello all!

The 19th ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social
Computing (CSCW 2016) will be held from February 27 through March 2 in
downtown San Francisco. While the call for papers closed in May, there are
still multiple opportunities to participate in CSCW!

We specifically invite scholars to submit proposals for half-,one-, or
two-day day workshops before the 16 October 2015 11:59pm PDT deadline.

http://cscw.acm.org/2016/submit/workshops.php

Workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and explore emerging areas of
CSCW research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners
from industry and academia. Workshops may focus on any aspect of CSCW
theory or practice, established concerns or new ideas. However, radical new
ideas expected to draw a sufficient number of participants are very much
encouraged! The goal of a workshop is to share understandings and
experiences, to foster research communities, to learn from each other and
to envision future directions. For a sample of workshop topics from the
last conference, please look at the CSCW 2011
<http://cscw2011.org/program/workshops.html>, CSCW 2012
<http://cscw2012.org/program/accepted_workshops.php>, CSCW 2013
<http://cscw.acm.org/2013/program_workshop.html>, CSCW 2014
<http://cscw.acm.org/2014/program_workshop.html>, and CSCW 2015
<http://cscw.acm.org/2015/program/accepted_workshops.php> Workshop Programs.

Workshop proposals should consist of an abstract and a detailed proposal.
The abstract should be no more than 150 words. The body of the proposal
should be no more than 3000 words, and should include a description of the
theme(s) of the workshop, the workshop activities and goals, the duration
of the workshop (one or two full days), the background of the organizer(s),
the maximum number of participants, the means of recruiting and selecting
participants, and the equipment and supplies needed to run the workshop.

Please note that workshops receive minimal technology support, which is
reflected in the low fee for attending them. This means that organizers
should plan to bring their own equipment insofar as it is possible to do so
(e.g., projector, laptops, portable supplies) and will be responsible for
the security of their own equipment. We encourage workshop organizers to
create web-based resources for their workshops so that advertising,
submission and organization can be handled online.
