CSCW is a major venue for open collaboration research. Every year the conference features
some of the best studies of collaborative systems (including wiki and Wikipedia research
[1 -3]). If you are active in this space, please consider submitting a paper or poster,
hosting a workshop or organizing a panel at the forthcoming conference in Vancouver. The
call for participation with the relevant deadlines is below.

The ACM conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing is the
premier venue for research in the design and use of technologies that affect groups,
organizations, communities, and networks. Bringing together top researchers and
practitioners from academia and industry who are interested in the area of social
computing, CSCW addresses both the technical and social challenges encountered when
supporting collaboration. The development and application of new technologies continues to
enable new ways of working together and coordinating activities.
The conference offers several types of submissions with the following deadlines.
Papers: June 4, 2014
Workshops proposals: August 8, 2014
Interactive Posters: November 10, 2014
Panels: November 10, 2014
Doctoral Colloquium: November 10, 2014
Demonstrations: December 12, 2014
See the individual calls at
http://cscw.acm.org/2015/submit/ for more details.
The scope of CSCW spans socio-technical domains including work, home, education,
healthcare, the arts, leisure, and entertainment. The conference seeks novel research
results or new ways of thinking about, studying, or supporting shared activities in these
and related areas:
▪ 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, SNSs, 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.
