Please find below the 3rd call for participation for CSCW 2013, covering several venues that are super cool yet less work than a paper.

Thanks!

The 16th ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW 2013) will be held February 23-27 in San Antonio, Texas, USA. CSCW is the premier venue for research in the design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, communities, and networks.

Summer is coming to an end, and CSCW deadlines for several venues are fast approaching!

* Workshops * Demos * Videos * Interactive posters * Panels * Doctoral colloquium * Student volunteers

Details of these venues and important dates follow.

Conference co-chairs: Amy Bruckman, Georgia Tech Scott Counts, Microsoft Research chairs2013@cscw.acm.org

WORKSHOPS http://cscw.acm.org/program_workshop.html

Workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and explore emerging areas of CSCW research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. We have accepted an exciting slate of workshops for this year's conference:

W1: The 13th International Workshop on Collaborative Editing Systems W2: Trust in Virtual Teams: Theory and Tools W3: Beyond Formality: Informal Communication in Health Practices W4: CrowdCamp 2013: Rapidly Iterating Crowd Ideas W5: Better safe than sorry: Collaboration in Safety-Critical Environments W6: Social Capital and Entrepreneurship in CSCW W7: Workshop on Social Media Question Asking W8: Collaborative Information Seeking: Consolidating the Past, Creating the Future W9: Measuring Networked Social Privacy: Qualitative & Quantitative Approaches W10: CSCW and education: Viewing education as a site of work practice

More information, including deadlines for position papers and other workshop-related submissions, will be posted by the organizers at the link above as it becomes available.

Workshops co-chairs: Jeremy Birnholtz, Northwestern University Andy Crabtree, University of Nottingham workshops2013@cscw.acm.org

DEMOS http://cscw.acm.org/participation_demo.html Deadline: November 2, 2012, 5PM PDT

CSCW 2013 demonstrations present implementations of new CSCW systems and concepts. The peer-reviewed demonstrations allow conference participants to view novel and noteworthy CSCW systems in action, discuss the systems with those who created them, and try them out. Appropriate demonstrations include applications, technologies, and research prototypes, and may showcase work that has been or is being published at CSCW or elsewhere. Demonstrations can also serve to showcase novel commercial products not previously described in the research literature. Demonstrations should be interactive and provide attendees a hands-on experience. The demo forum is not an opportunity for marketing or sales presentations. Presenters must have been directly involved with the development of the system and be able to explain the unique and novel contributions of the system.

Demos co-chairs: Dan Cosley, Cornell University Travis Kriplean, University of Washington demos2013@cscw.acm.org

VIDEOS http://cscw.acm.org/participation_video.html Deadline: October 23, 2012, 5:00 PM PDT

The CSCW Videos Program provides researchers, designers, and practitioners with opportunities to present their cutting-edge work in an interactive fashion in front of an expert audience. Videos are ideally suited to demonstrate the practical application of research results and the functionality of CSCW systems, visualize the outcome of research and development projects, or describe inspiring visions of future systems that are grounded in today′s reality. The Videos Program provides a venue to present work that involves dynamic interaction, ranging from demonstrations of new systems to complex aspects of group communication and work practice.

Videos co-chairs: Sasa Junuzovic, Microsoft Research Carman Neustaedter, Simon Fraser University videos2013@cscw.acm.org

INTERACTIVE POSTERS http://cscw.acm.org/participation_poster.html Deadline: November 2, 2012, 5:00 p.m. PDT

CSCW 2013 will include an interactive poster category for late-breaking and preliminary results, smaller results not suitable for a full or short paper, innovative ideas not yet validated through user studies, early student research, and other research best presented in an interactive forum. Posters will be presented in a special Poster Session where researchers will interact directly with conference attendees. The posters will remain up throughout the remainder of the conference.

Posters co-chairs: Gary Hsieh, Michigan State University Chen Zhao, Microsoft posters2013@cscw.acm.org

PANELS http://cscw.acm.org/participation_panel.html Deadline: November 2, 2012

Panels are a great way to generate debate and raise new and interesting issues at CSCW. With panels we want to provide a forum for discussing provocative, controversial, innovative, emerging, boundary-spanning and boundary-breaking issues. While paper sessions provide detailed discussions of work recently completed, panels provide an opportunity to explore what is on the horizon -- or what is already here but not adequately recognized, acknowledged or discussed.

Panels co-chairs: Darren Gergle, Northwestern University Siân Lindley, Microsoft Research panels2013@cscw.acm.org

DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM http://cscw.acm.org/participation_dc.html Deadline: November 2, 2012, 5:00 p.m. PDT

The Doctoral Colloquium is a forum in which Ph.D. students meet and discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced CSCW researchers and practitioners. We welcome applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches that inform CSCW, including anthropology, sociology, computer science, cognitive science, organizational studies, and related fields. We are particularly interested in applications from institutions and groups that have not traditionally been well-represented at past CSCW conferences.

Doctoral Colloquium Co-Chairs: Geraldine Fitzpatrick, Vienna University of Technology David McDonald, University of Washington dc2013@cscw.acm.org

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS http://cscw.acm.org/participation_sv.html

Student volunteers are essential to the success of the CSCW conference. While the volunteer duties are not always glamorous, they do provide a unique opportunity to interact closely with CSCW contributors, attendees, and other student volunteers. Volunteering provides a structured, cordial environment for students in various stages of their research career to become part of the CSCW community. Students often report that the 'social networks' they build from these meetings are the greatest benefit of being a volunteer.

Deadlines will be posted at the above link shortly.

Student Volunteers Co-Chairs Brian Keegan, Northwestern University Jenn Marlow, Carnegie Mellon University sv2013@cscw.acm.org
