demonstrations, and posters. Examples of relevant topics include but are
not limited to:

• Conceptual frameworks, methods, and measures to study intercultural
collaboration and/or learning
• Field studies of intercultural collaboration in global organizations
and/or in local communities
• Intercultural issues in offshore / global businesses
• Laboratory studies of intercultural collaboration
• Cultural differences in collaboration styles and/or technology use
• Case studies of intercultural collaboration
• Computer supported intercultural collaboration
• Internet, web, ubiquitous, and/or ambient technologies for
intercultural collaboration and learning
• E-learning in multicultural environments
• Frameworks for measurement of properties of intercultural communication
• The role of language, language proficiency, and language resources in
intercultural collaboration
• Multilingual communication and communication technologies
• Interoperability of language resources
• Usability of technologies, including language resources, for
intercultural collaboration

The conference will feature several prominent invited speakers (to be
announced).

*Papers*

Full papers are solicited on any aspect of intercultural collaboration.
Papers can describe studies of intercultural communication and
collaboration or present new technologies to assess and support
intercultural interaction. All papers are expected to be suitable for a
multidisciplinary audience and relevant to issues of intercultural
collaboration.

Full papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library
(http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm) <http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm%29>. These
papers should be no longer than ten two-columned pages. Papers should be
formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI template and submitted in PDF
format. Please see the SIGCHI author instruction page
(http://sigchi.org/chipubform/) <http://sigchi.org/chipubform/%29> for
more information and downloadable templates.

*Papers should be submitted through the Precision Conference System
(www.precisionconference.com/~icic). Authors will need to create a free
account and then upload a pdf version of their anonymized paper to the
site. *

All full papers will be evaluated using a double-blind review process.
Authors should omit their names and affiliations from the title area of
the paper and conceal references to their own prior work by referring to
it in the third person (e.g., authors should say "In an earlier study,
Jones and Smith found ." instead of "In an earlier study, we found .").
Papers that have not been appropriately anonymized will be returned
without review.

*Panels, Demonstrations and Late-Breaking Papers*

ICIC 2010 will also feature three categories of non-archived
submissions: panels, demonstrations and late-breaking papers.

Panels, demonstrations and late-breaking papers will not be blind
reviewed. Authors should include their complete names and contact
information at the top of their submitted PDF file.

*Panels:* ICIC 2010 will feature a solicited panel and an invited panel.
Individuals may submit proposals for the solicited panel. A panel
consists of three or four talks on a related theme in intercultural
collaboration. Panel submissions will not be archival, so panelists may
discuss previously published work. Submissions should provide each
panelist's background and contact information, as well as a brief
statement of his or her position on the panel theme. Submissions should
be no longer than 3 pages in length using the ACM template (see above).

*Panels should be submitted by email to icic2010-panels [at]
khn.nict.go.jp.*

*Demonstrations:* Individuals may submit proposals to present
demonstrations of new technologies for intercultural collaboration.
Demonstration proposals should clearly describe the motivation for the
tool and how it will be demonstrated at the workshop. Demonstration
descriptions will not be archival; therefore, demonstrations can include
both previously published work and work that is not yet ready for
publication. Submissions should be no longer than 3 pages in length
using the ACM template (see above).

*Demonstrations should be submitted by email to icic2010-demos [at]
khn.nict.go.jp.*

*Late-Breaking Papers (Work in Progress): *Individuals may submit
late-breaking papers to present as posters during the workshop.
Late-breaking papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
Late-breaking papers should be no longer than 4 two columned pages in
length, formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI template, and submitted in
PDF format. Please see the SIGCHI author instruction page
(http://sigchi.org/chipubform/) for more information and downloadable
templates.

*Late-breaking papers should be submitted to icic2010-posters [at]
khn.nict.go.jp.*

Submitted late-breaking papers, panels, and demonstrations will be
