**Conference Theme - Designing Networks for Innovation and Improvisation**
The COINs16 conference committee seeks original paper submissions, creative workshop ideas and concepts, unique artifacts or installations, and engaging rapid-fire presentations celebrating the theme "Designing Networks for Innovation and Improvisation". This year we are asking what is relevant with regard to the innovative and improvisational powers of creative and civic swarms, what are the observable qualities of virtual collaboration and mobilization, and how does the quest for global cooperation affect local networks. We invite both theoretical and practice-based dialogues, case studies, scientific papers, technological solutions, research studies, and interactive artifacts that thoroughly reflect this year's conference theme. We invite researchers and designers to submit their latest scientific results and experimental design solutions as research papers, workshop proposals, and artifact demonstrations in the following conference themes:

-          Networks & Collaboration in a Global Context: Optimization through Collaboration, Teamwork through virtually enhanced collaboration, Measuring the performance of COINs, Patterns of swarm creativity

-          Group Dynamics, Social Movements & Net Activism: Collaborative Learning, Collaborative Leadership, Design & visualization of interdisciplinary collaboration, Virtual Teaming, Knowledge flows in multiple-disciplinary teams

-          Individual & Social Learning: The psychology and sociality of collaboration and collective action, Social Behavior Modeling, Social Intelligence and Social Cognition

-          Tools and Methods: Social System Design and Architectures, Dynamic Social Network Analysis, Semantic Social Network Analysis, Actor Network Theory, Pattern Languages
