The medium of collaboration is changing as groups and individuals rely on
information communication technologies (ICT). The world became flat with
high-speed communication and ICT (Friedman 2006). Early adopters quickly took
advantage of these technologies, from web conferences to virtual workspaces.
These virtual tools have not fully replaced conventional collaboration, but
they have had significant impact on the way we connect, communicate,
coordinate, cooperate, and collaborate. Initially ICT tools were standalone
software and hardware (such as a PC with a video conferencing application) but
today they moved to the cloud within the ecosystem of internet of things such
as Google+ Hangouts. This track solicits research studies that explore current
and emerging collaborative information technology research. Research focusing
on the ways in which these technologies have changed the nature of work and
social interaction are particularly welcome.</span></p>
