*Call for Submissions *

*ACM International Conference on Supporting Group Work *
*PACM HCI affiliated conference *
*January 6-8, 2020, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA *
https://group.acm.org/conferences/group20/
For over 25 years, the ACM International Conference on Supporting
Group
Work (*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 2020 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 2020 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 2020, we
will
continue new submission categories that were introduced in 2016.
GROUP 2020
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.
In addition, papers will now be published as an issue of the
recently
created journal, *Proceedings of the ACM (PACM).*
Submissions to the conference are welcome in the form of:
*Research Papers.* This venue gives the occasion to present and
interact
with the audience. Accepted papers will be published in the PACM.
Please
use the ACM Small format for submissions, available for download
as part of
the ACM Master Template. Papers have no fixed minimum or maximum
page
numbers, paper length should be commensurate with contribution.
Research
Paper submissions must be submitted online at the GROUP 2020
conference
site.
*Important Dates *
- Papers Abstract and Title Submission: February 22nd, 2019
- Papers Submission Deadline: March 1st, 2019
- 1st Round Notifications: April 12
- Resubmit: May 31st
- 2nd Round decisions: July 5th
- Camera ready: July 19th
*Working Papers (WP).* WPs 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
GROUP community and discussions. Please send submissions directly
to
co-chairs at
wp@group2020.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 the GROUP 2020 conference site.
*Important Dates *
- Design Fiction Submission Deadline: June 7, 2019
- Resubmission for PACM papers: September 1, 2019
- Design Fiction Decision Announced: October 1, 2019
*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). 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@group2020.org.
*Workshops.* Workshops provide an informal and focused environment
for the
information exchange and discussion of Group 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. Workshop proposals should also include a
description of
how the workshop will be publicized and a strategy for recruiting
and
selecting participants. It should specify any 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 for
submissions. We encourage topics suitable for developing new ideas
and deep
discussions. Please send submissions directly to co-chairs at
workshops@group2020.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.
Please contact the workshop co-chairs.
Accepted research papers will be published in a issue of PACM in
HCI.
Design Fictions, posters, and doctoral consortium extended
abstracts will
be published in the ACM Press Conference Proceedings and in the
ACM digital
Library. Accepted Workshop proposals will be published in a
paper-based
supplement.
