================================================================== CRIWG 2008 14th Collaboration Researchers’ International Workshop on Groupware OMAHA, NEBRASKA, 14 – 18 SEPTEMBER 2008 http://criwg.ist.unomaha.edu/ ==================================================================

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Collaboration Research International Workshop on Groupware (CRIWG) seeks scientific and engineering papers that inform the design, development, deployment, and use of groupware and the work practices they support. Founded in 1995, CRIWG has become a significant forum for academic researchers and professionals to exchange ideas and experiences about problems and solutions related to group technology.

Most challenges in the groupware field require a multidisciplinary, multi-methodological approach. CRIWIG seeks papers on groupware from a wide variety of academic perspectives and epistemologies, ranging from collaborative and exploratory research, to theory building and testing, applied research, engineering, and innovative evaluation methods. Researchers can report their ideas, theories, models, designs and experimental results to CRIWG either by submitting full paper contributions, in case of mature works, and shorter papers reporting innovative work in progress. As in previous years, the authors of the best papers will be invited to submit extended versions to selected journals. PhD students are invited to present their research in the doctoral colloquium.

The CRIWG 2008 workshop seeks paper contributions on the following key areas:

Collaboration Technologies and Technology Issues, for example: -Systems, software, and data architectures for groupware -Jointly authored pages, streaming, and information access technologies -Groupware UI considerations -Groupware development frameworks and toolkits -Groupware Design Approaches -Access control, alerts, attention mechanisms, presence indicators -Privacy, security

Collaboration Concepts and Theories, for example: -Group Productivity, efficiency, effectiveness -Collaborative modeling tools -Theory of satisfaction with group work and groupware -Collaborative engineering systems -Theory on acceptance, adoption, and diffusion of groupware and group work practices -Collaboration across and between cultures

Aggregated systems, for example: -Group support systems -Workflow management systems -Collaborative project management systems

Applications Domains for Groupware, for example: -Medical applications -Academic learning -Emergency management -Mobile collaboration -Productive collaboration in virtual environments

Social Aspects of groupware, for example: -Group dynamics -Virtual worlds and communities -Social tagging, folksonomy -Work modeling

The CRIWG workshop is supported by the Collaboration Research International Working group on Groupware, an open community of researchers. Traditionally, CRIWG is organized in remote places alternating between the Americas and Europe, with a small number of presentations, fostering critical discussion, team building and collaboration. The location selected for the CRIWG 2008 workshop is Omaha, in the state of Nebraska, USA. The University of Nebraska at Omaha will host and organize the workshop.

IMPORTANT DATES Full and Work in Progress Papers -Submission deadline: June 5 -Notification of acceptance: July 5 -Camera ready papers due: July 30

Doctoral Colloquium Papers -Submission deadline: July 30

CRIWG Workshop: September 14-18, 2008

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The CRIWG 2008 full and work in progress papers will be published by Springer-Verlag as part of their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Extended and reviewed best papers will be published in special issues of international journals.

Electronic paper submissions are accepted in two categories: full technical papers and work in progress papers. Full papers have a length of up to 16 pages while work in progress papers should have a maximum length of 8 pages, both of them following the Springer LNCS format. Electronic submission will be available in this Web site: http://gds-ws.ist.unomaha.edu/conftool/. Further news will be published in this Web site: http://criwg.ist.unomaha.edu/.

We will use a double-blind reviewing process. Please, do not include the author's name and affiliation or any indication, which may disclose the paper's authorship, in the submitted paper itself. As a result of the reviewing process, the Program Committee may suggest changes in the format and/or the contents of the paper, including the category of the paper. In this case, a paper will be conditionally accepted. The PC Chairs will decide on the final acceptance or rejection, based on the analysis of the revised paper. The format for the final version will be the Springer LNCS format, which includes e.g. templates for MS Word and Latex.

Paper submissions for the Doctoral Colloquium are due on July 30, 2008. For submission guidelines concerning the doctoral colloquium please refer to the CRIWG Web site: http://criwg.ist.unomaha.edu/.
