Workshop "Hybrid Collaboration - Moving Beyond Purely Co-Located
or Remote Collaboration" @ ECSCW 2019, Salzburg, Austria
More info:
https://ecscw2019workshop.projekte.fh-hagenberg.at
*) Important Dates
Deadline for submission of position papers: April 24, 2019
(EXTENDED).
Notification of acceptance: May 2, 2019.
Date of Workshop: June 8, 2019.
*) Introduction
New collaborative practices and technologies increasingly blur the
traditional boundaries between co-located and remote
collaboration. Using technologies such as connected interactive
whiteboards and mobile devices, team meetings are increasingly
partially distributed with co-located and remote members.
Collaboration tools such as Slack also invite users to transcend
the dichotomy of synchronous and asynchronous team work. In a
first attempt to frame this new kind of collaborative practices,
Neumayr et al. (2018) have formulated their framework of “Hybrid
Collaboration” to enable the description and analysis of current
hybrid collaboration practices. Still, there is a considerable
knowledge gap in the field of hybrid collaboration although it is
daily common practice.
This one-day workshop aims at bringing together researchers and
practitioners working on empirical research methodologies and
currently existing practical use cases of hybrid collaboration
while ultimately striving for a high level of usability and UX in
the tools we develop in the realm of either co-located or remote
collaboration settings.
*) Workshop Topics
The topics dealt with in this workshop include but are not limited
to:
- What are the opportunities and challenges of researching hybrid
collaboration today?
- How can collaborative practices in hybrid meetings/events be
studied in naturalistic environments?
- How can we prototype hybrid collaboration and conduct controlled
experiments?
- Which established, alternative, or entirely novel research
methods can help to tackle those challenges?
- How can we reach a shared conceptualization and understanding of
hybrid collaboration, meetings and events? These concepts are
often expressed through other similar terminologies such as
remote, online, hybrid, or virtual collaboration, meetings, and
events in partially distributed teams, virtual teams, etc.
*) Call for Participation
Please consider contributing to this workshop:
Participants will be selected based on their position paper
submissions (up to 4 pages in length using the recent ACM SIGCHI
Extended Abstracts format:
https://sigchi.org/templates/). The
submissions will be reviewed by the workshop organizers and judged
by their quality concerning relevance and potential to stimulate
discussion at the workshop.
Submissions should be sent to thomas.neumayr(at)fh-hagenberg.at
and banu.saatci(at)cc.au.dk in .pdf format on or before April 24,
2019.
The notification to the workshop participants will be distributed
on May 2, 2019.
Accepted position papers will be distributed among the
participants well before the workshop to allow a familiarization
with each others’ topics. In this process, participants are asked
to reflect on the other submissions and bring questions with them.
