[AISWorld] CSCW 2012: Advance program online; early registration deadline Dec 15 (2 weeks)

[Dennis, Alan R.]

The Advance Program for The ACM 2012 Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work has been posted online: http://cscw2012.org/program.php. The conference will be held February 11-15 in Bellevue, Washington, USA (near Seattle).

CSCW is a premier venue for presenting research in the design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, and communities. CSCW encompasses both the technical and social challenges encountered when supporting collaboration. The development and application of new technologies continues to enable new ways of working together and coordinating activities. Although work is an area of focus, CSCW embraces research and technologies supporting a wide range of recreational and social activities using a diverse range of devices. The conference brings together top researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are interested in both technical and social aspects of collaboration.
