HICSS Collaboration Systems and Technology Minitrack:

Cognitive Perspectives on Collaboration 

January 4-7, 2012
The Grand Wailea

In knowledge intensive collaborative tasks the main "production factor" is
cognitive effort. Therefore the cognitive load involved in collaborative
tasks will be a key determinant of productivity. Understanding cognitive
load and cognitive activities involved in collaboration offers various
design principles to efficiently and effectively use cognitive capacity.
Cognitive load research has mainly focused on individual tasks. In order to
design interventions that improve cognitive efficiency in collaborative
tasks we need to understand cognitive patterns and activities in
collaboration. This minitrack will aim to present papers and encourage
discussion on this exciting new level of analysis.

Interests are in various perspectives on a cognitive understanding of
collaboration and phenomena in collaboration. Such research could include
cognitive load analysis, and cognitive explanations of phenomena such as
motivation, productivity, commitment, (group) efficacy, trust, and shared
understanding. Topics such as shared mental models, cognitive mapping and
other group convergence phenomena from a cognitive perspective, as well as
measurement approaches, would be welcome. Further, we encourage authors to
reflect on the implications of their findings for the design and use of
collaboration support technology and facilitation of collaboration.

This "Cognitive perspectives on Collaboration" minitrack focuses on:

1.	Cognitive load involved in collaborative tasks 
2.	Understanding Cognitive effort involved in collaborative activities 
3.	Cognitive perspectives on phenomena in collaboration such as
motivation, productivity, commitment, (group) efficacy, trust, shared
understanding, etc. 
4.	Measurement of cognitive activity or neurologic effects explaining
phenomena in collaboration 
5.	Shared mental models, sense making and convergence 

Deadlines: 
June 15: Submit full manuscripts for review. The review is double-blind;
therefore this submission must be without author names.
Aug 16: Acceptance notices are emailed to authors by the Review System. At
least one author of each accepted paper must immediately make plans to
attend the conference, including initiating fiscal, visa, or other travel
guarantees.
Sept 15: Accepted authors submit Final Paper. At least one author of each
paper should register by this date. This is the Early Registration fee
deadline.
