The impact of collaboration on organizational performance is more critical than strategic orientation or market and technological turbulence. Yet successful collaboration does not come without difficulty. Groups and teams need to overcome collaboration challenges such as groupthink, dominance, lack of efficiency and lack of focus. Successful collaboration requires support based on purposeful guidance and interventions to create groups and teams, to design and deploy processes, to design and deploy technology, to support leaders or facilitators, and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of information processing. The challenge for researchers and practitioners alike is to design sustainable processes and systems within and between organizations that allow people, groups and teams to collaborate successfully. This challenge has many dimensions, including a technical, a behavioral, a social, an emotional, an economical, and a political. This minitrack invites papers that address the design and deployment of collaboration processes and systems within and between organizations, groups, and teams.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>This minitrack provides one of the key international platforms on which the following issues can be discussed:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:17.85pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-17.85pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>The application, and evaluation of collaboration support technologies; G(D)SS, Groupware, CSCW, meeting support technology and Web 2.0 technology.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:17.85pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-17.85pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>Facilitation methods, techniques, patterns, and thinkLets to improve (a)synchronous collaboration between co-located and distributed people, teams, or groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:17.85pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-17.85pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>Theoretical foundations and design methodologies for collaborative work practices and technologies.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:17.85pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-17.85pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>4.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>Human collaboration with artificial agents and the evaluation of computer systems as team members, including agent-based support for individual decision makers<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:17.85pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-17.85pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>5.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>Automation of collaborative processes and agent-based support for group facilitation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:17.85pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-17.85pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>6.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>Techniques, systems, and technologies to support mass collaboration such as crowdsourcing, and collective intelligence<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:17.85pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-17.85pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>7.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>Maturity models and other evaluation models for assessing team collaboration and performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:17.85pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-17.85pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>8.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>Collaboration Engineering and the design, codification and reuse of work practices and pattern languages for group collaboration to create self-sustaining collaboration support in organizations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thus, papers are welcome that contain original ideas on systematic modeling, analysis, design and evaluation of group collaboration processes and systems.
