8th International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration (WikiSym)
August 27-29 -- Linz, Austria
Call for Participation: Early Registration Deadline is July 29
The International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration (WikiSym) is the premier
conference on open collaboration and related technologies. In 2012, WikiSym celebrates its
8th year of scholarly, technical and community innovation in Linz, Austria. We are
excited this year to be collocated with Ars Electronica, the premier digital art and
science meeting that attracts over 35,000 attendees per year. WikiSym will take place in
Linz, Austria at the Ars Electronica Center.
More details about attending can be found at:
http://www.wikisym.org/ws2012/bin/view/Main/Attending or by following the @WikiSym twitter
account.
Wikisym is a leading conference in understanding how individuals, groups, organizations
and society can use information and communication technology to enable novel and
meaningful collaboration and collective action. Researchers and practitioners from all
over the world have gathered together in these meetings to discuss and display their
insights into this important area of inquiry.
The conference program will include a peer-reviewed research track, experience reports,
workshops, posters, demos, a doctoral consortium, invited keynotes and panel speakers. As
always, the participant-organized Open Space track will run throughout the conference.
Evening social events will follow, becausewiki folks know the value of a good party for
sparking conversation and collaboration. Finally, WikiSym co-occurs with Ars Electronica,
and we are arranging experiences where conference attendees can enjoy this innovative and
unusual event.

collaboration systems. For example:
Collaboration tools and processes
Social and cultural aspects of collaboration
