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 Lindley,
