November 16-20, 1996 Cambridge, MA USA
We invite you to submit original work to the 1996 ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW 96).
This year's theme is Cooperating Communities. Communities are made up of people who share similar interests, professions, types of interaction or a common locale. Over a five-day period, we will explore the new and productive ways in which different communities can come together. With the explosion of popular interest in networked computer systems and the Internet, this conference is expected to play an important role in framing and extending the discussion about technology's role in the future of work.
CSCW is a multi-disciplinary field encompassing theory and practice, engineering and social sciences. Topics suitable for submission include:
o Theories of coordination and collaboration o Work practice studies of collaboration o Workplace design to support collaboration o Methodologies and tools for analyzing cooperative work o Impact of technology on individuals or organizations o Technologies or architectures to support collaboration
Submissions are encouraged from researchers and practitioners in academia, industry, consulting or government on topics related to the theory, practice, design or support for collaborative work conducted by small or large groups. CSCW is an international conference; we welcome submissions from all countries. Whether you submit original work or not, we hope you plan on attending the conference. Remember to mark your calendar!
