CSCW 2013 SECOND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

16th ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing
San Antonio, TX, Feb 23-27th
http://cscw.acm.org

CSCW is an international and interdisciplinary conference focused on
how technology intersects with social practices. By bringing together
top researchers and practitioners from academia and industry in the
area of social computing, CSCW addresses both the technical and social
challenges encountered when supporting collaboration.

PAPERS
http://cscw.acm.org/participation_paper.html

We invite submissions that detail existing practices or inform the
design or deployment of systems. The scope of CSCW includes, but is
not limited to, social computing, technologically-enabled or enhanced
communication, collaboration, information sharing, and coordination.
It includes socio-technical activities at work, in the home, in
education, in healthcare, in the arts, for socializing and for
entertainment. To support diverse and high-quality contributions, CSCW
employs a two-phase review process and does not impose an arbitrary
length limit on papers submissions. Please see the conference website
for details about the review process and aligning paper contribution
and length.

Papers co-chairs: Loren Terveen, University of Minnesota & Cliff
Lampe, University of Michigan

WORKSHOPS
http://cscw.acm.org/participation_workshop.html

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.

Workshops co-chairs: Jeremy Birnholtz, Cornell University & Andy
Crabtree, University of Nottingham

VIDEOS
http://cscw.acm.org/participation_video.html

The CSCW Videos Program provides researchers, designers, and
practitioners with opportunities to present their cutting-edge work in
an interactive fashion in front of an expert audience. Videos are
ideally suited to demonstrate the practical application of research
results and the functionality of CSCW systems, visualize the outcome
of research and development projects, or describe inspiring visions of
future systems that are grounded in today′s reality. The Videos
Program provides a venue to present work that involves dynamic
interaction, ranging from demonstrations of new systems to complex
aspects of group communication and work practice.

Videos co-chairs: Sasa Junuzovic, Microsoft Research & Carman
Neustaedter, Simon Fraser University

DEMONSTRATIONS
http://cscw.acm.org/participation_demo.html

CSCW 2013 demonstrations present implementations of new CSCW systems
and concepts. The peer-reviewed demonstrations allow conference
participants to view novel and noteworthy CSCW systems in action,
discuss the systems with those who created them, and try them out.
Appropriate demonstrations include applications, technologies, and
research prototypes, and may showcase work that has been or is being
published at CSCW or elsewhere. Demonstrations can also serve to
showcase novel commercial products not previously described in the
research literature. Demonstrations should be interactive and provide
attendees a hands-on experience. The demo forum is not an opportunity
for marketing or sales presentations. Presenters must have been
directly involved with the development of the system and be able to
explain the unique and novel contributions of the system.

Demos co-chairs: Dan Cosley, Cornell University & Travis Kriplean,
University of Washington

INTERACTIVE POSTERS
http://cscw.acm.org/participation_poster.html

CSCW 2013 will include an interactive poster category for
late-breaking and preliminary results, smaller results not suitable
for a full or short paper, innovative ideas not yet validated through
user studies, early student research, and other research best
presented in an interactive forum. Posters will be presented in a
special Poster Session where researchers will interact directly with
conference attendees. The posters will remain up throughout the
remainder of the conference.

Posters co-chairs: Gary Hsieh, Michigan State University & Chen Zhao, Microsoft

PANELS
http://cscw.acm.org/participation_panel.html

Panels are a great way to generate debate and raise new and
interesting issues at CSCW. With panels we want to provide a forum for
discussing provocative, controversial, innovative, emerging,
boundary-spanning and boundary-breaking issues. While paper sessions
provide detailed discussions of work recently completed, panels
provide an opportunity to explore what is on the horizon — or what is
already here but not adequately recognized, acknowledged or discussed.

Panels co-chairs: Darren Gergle, Northwestern University & Siân
