20th ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW 2017)

February 25 - March 1, 2017

Portland, Oregon

Call For Papers

The 2017 ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing will be held in TBD, USA from February/March , 2017. CSCW is an international and interdisciplinary peer reviewed conference seeking the best research on all topics relevant to collaborative and social computing.

We invite authors to submit papers that inform the design or deployment of collaborative or social systems; introduce novel systems, interaction techniques, or algorithms; or study existing collaborative or social practices. The scope of CSCW includes social computing and social media, crowdsourcing, open collaboration, technologically-enabled or enhanced communication, CSCL, MOOCs, and related educational technologies, multi-user input technologies, collaboration, awareness, information sharing, and coordination. This scope spans socio-technical domains of work, home, education, healthcare, the arts, socializing, and entertainment. Papers can report on novel research results, systems, or new ways of thinking about, studying, or supporting shared activities.

This year in particular CSCW would like to invite papers that make a contribution to building CSCW systems including (but not limited to) technical enablers for CSCW applications; methods and techniques for new CSCW services and applications; and evaluation of fully-built CSCW systems and lab and field settings. Authors will be able to direct such submissions to a dedicated subcommittee.

Topics of Interest

Contributions to CSCW across a variety of research techniques, approaches, and domains, including:

• Social and crowd computing. Studies, theories, designs, mechanisms, systems, and/or infrastructures addressing social media, social networking, wikis, blogs, online gaming, crowdsourcing, collective intelligence, virtual worlds or collaborative information behaviors.
• System Design. Hardware, architectures, infrastructures, interaction design, technical foundations, algorithms, and/or toolkits that enable the building of new social and collaborative systems and experiences.
• Theories. Critical analysis or theory with clear relevance to the design or study of social and collaborative systems.
• Empirical investigations. Findings, guidelines, and/or studies related to communication, collaboration, and social technologies, practices, or use. CSCW welcomes diverse methods and approaches.
• Mining and Modeling. Studies, analyses and infrastructures for making use of large- and small-scale data.
• Methodologies and tools. Novel methods or combinations of approaches and tools used in building systems or studying their use.
• Domain-specific social and collaborative applications. Including applications to healthcare, transportation, gaming, ICT4D, sustainability, education, accessibility, global collaboration, or other domains.
• Collaboration systems based on emerging technologies. Mobile and ubiquitous computing, game engines, virtual worlds, multi-touch, novel display technologies, vision and gesture recognition, big data, MOOCs, crowd labor markets, SNSes, or sensing systems.
• Crossing boundaries. Studies, prototypes, or other investigations that explore interactions across disciplines, distance, languages, generations, and cultures, to help better understand how to transcend social, temporal, and/or spatial boundaries.

Paper Submission

Papers must be submitted via the Precision Conference System (PCS) by 17:00 Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on May 27th 2016. The site is open for submissions beginning April 29th. Papers in the "Revise & Resubmit" category must be re-submitted via the PCS system by 17:00 PDT on August 9th 2016.

All submissions must be new work that has not been published in a peer reviewed conference or journal. Work previously published in workshops that do not have published proceedings may be submitted (as-is or extended) to CSCW. Work previously published in workshops that do have published proceedings may only be submitted if the work is substantially extended from the workshop paper. In any case where part of a submitted paper has been previously published, the authors should contact the Papers Chairs to inform them of the prior publication, including its citation and a brief description of the changes incorporated into the CSCW-submitted version.

Important Dates

• Submission Deadline  : August 09, 2016
  
• Authors Notification   : September 06, 2016
• Final Manuscript Due : August 09, 2016
