*GROUP** 2018*

ACM International Conference on Supporting Group Work

January 7-10, 2018, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA

http://group.acm.org



For over 25 years, the ACM International Conference on Supporting GroupWork
(GROUP) has been a premier venue for research on Computer Supported
Cooperative Work, Human Computer Interaction, Computer Supported
Collaborative Learning and Socio-Technical Studies. The conference
integrates work in social science, computer science, engineering, design,
values, and other diverse topics related to group work, broadly
conceptualized. Group 2018 continues the tradition of being truly
international and interdisciplinary in both organizational structure as
well as participants.



Key goals for the program are to encourage and facilitate researchers
within CSCW and HCI to interact across disciplinary boundaries. We
encourage high-level research contributions from interdisciplinary groups to
present work that might be difficult to place within one simple category.
We are open to diverse and innovative research methods, and to
contributions across broad areas such as systems, society, participation,
critique, collaboration, and human interaction. GROUP 2018 in particular
would like to encourage systems designers, builders, and researchers from
industry, academia, government and other interested groups to participate.
Participation at GROUP takes many different forms. In 2018, we will
continue two new submissions categories that were introduced in 2016.
First, GROUP 2018 will again offer the opportunity to authors of newly
published papers from the Journal of CSCW (http://link.springer.com/
journal/10606) to present their papers in the conference. Second, the
submission category “Design Fictions” will be maintained.



Submissions to the conference are welcome in the form of:



·        *Research Papers* (both short and long).  This venue gives the
occasion to present and interact with the audience. Accepted papers will be
published in the Conference Proceedings and ACM Digital Library. Please use
the ACM SIGCHI format for submissions. We invite archival submissions in
the form of either full Papers or shorter contributions (Notes). A Note is
a brief report of a more limited, but definitive, outcome or theoretical
development. There is no page limit for Papers or Notes, although clear
rationale should be given for Papers that exceed 10 pages or for Notes that
exceed 4 pages. Research Paper submissions must be completed online at
https://new.precisionconference.com/group.

 ·        *Working Papers* (WP) are contributions in which the authors are
working towards an archival journal submission and would like to discuss
their work with their colleagues at GROUP. Our goal is to broaden the
conversations at GROUP, with a format that may appeal to colleagues whose
primary publications are in journals, rather than conference papers. WPs
will not be published in the conference proceedings, but will be
distributed in a paper conference supplement at the GROUP conference for
the attendees only. Therefore, you are free to seek formal publication of a
draft journal submission that appears in a WP. The WP review process will
be *lightweight*, without any revisions asked to the authors, to expand the
GROUPcommunity and discussions. Please send submissions directly to
co-chairs at wp at group2018.org.

 ·        *Design Fictions – Fictive Futures*. Exploring Future Research
Agendas. We seek submissions that imagine possible futures for research on
the relationships between computers and people. Submissions will include
two portions: a fictional document related to the conduct of research and
an author statement about the document. The fiction document could be an
extended abstract, a call for papers, an excerpt from API documentation, a
book review, a study protocol for IRB review, or any other relevant type.
The author statement should connect that document to current events, cite
ongoing research in the field, or otherwise extrapolate how the envisioned
future might arise from our given present. This statement will be
especially important for abstracts (which are too short to explain their
rationale), API documentations (which typically do not provide a historical
rationale), and other documents that on their own may be exceptionally
short and/or vague. Because Design Fictions are archival contributions, we
recommend a minimum length of 3 pages, and as many as 10 pages. Please use
the ACM SIGCHI Format for submissions. The reviewing process will be the
same as the general track, and Design Fiction papers or notes will be
included in the proceedings. Design Fiction submissions must be completed
online at https://new.precisionconference.com/group.



·        *Posters and demos*. Posters and demos are an opportunity to
present late-breaking and preliminary results, smaller results not suitable
for a Paper or Note submission, innovative ideas not yet validated through
user studies, student research in early phases, and other research best
presented in this open format. Posters and demos will be displayed at a
special session in the conference when poster and demo authors will be
available to discuss their work. Poster submissions should include an
extended abstract no longer than 4 pages, including all figures and
references, in ACM SIGCHI Format (available here
<http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform>). In addition, submissions
should also include a separate Tabloid (A3 or 11 x 17 inches) sized draft
of the poster for review purposes. Both the extended abstract and the
poster draft should include author names (these are not anonymous
submissions). Please send submissions directly to co-chairs at
posters at group2018.org.

 ·        *Workshops*. Workshops provide an informal and focused
environment for the information exchange and discussion ofGroup related
topics. We offer half or full day workshop venues. Proposals should include
an abstract (max 150 words), a title, description of workshop theme, aim,
goals, activities and potential outcomes. It should also specify
audio/visual equipment needed, maximum number of participants, the duration
of the workshop (half or full day) and the names and backgrounds of the
organizer(s). Please submit a maximum of four pages, using the ACM SIGCHI
format <http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform> for submissions. We
encourage topics suitable for developing new ideas and deep discussions.
Please send submissions directly to co-chairs at workshops at group2018.org.



·        *Doctoral Colloquium*. The Doctoral Colloquium provides a forum
for sharing ongoing Ph.D. projects of participants with other advanced
Ph.D. students and distinguished faculty for mentoring and feedback. Space
is limited, so an application of up to four pages is required, in the ACM
standard format <http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform>. Please
contact the workshop co-chairs at dc at group2018.org.



Accepted research papers, notes, Design Fictions, posters, and doctoral
colloquium extended abstracts are published in the ACM Press Conference
Proceedings and in the ACM digital Library. Accepted Workshop proposals
will be published in a paper-based supplement.
