COMPUTER-SUPPORTED COOPERATIVE WORK AND SOCIAL COMPUTING 2014 (CSCW 2014)
Baltimore, MD, Feb 15-19, 2014

CSCW is an international and interdisciplinary conference focused on how 
technology intersects with social practices.

IMPORTANT DATES
* October 07, 5:00pm PDT, 2013: Submission due
* November 07: Final notifications

CSCW brings together top researchers and practitioners from academia and 
industry who are interested in both the technical and social aspects of 
collaboration. The development and application of new technologies 
continues to enable new ways of working together and coordinating 
activities. Cooperation and coordination take place in different 
settings, ranging from work to recreational and social activities. 
Moreover, an increasing range of devices are involved in cooperation, as 
we collaborate in different contexts and situations. The conference has 
several venues for participation:

INTERACTIVE POSTERS: CSCW 2014 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 then 
remain up throughout the remainder of the conference. We are also 
exploring several new exciting opportunities for poster presentation.

Interactive poster abstract submissions (extended abstract and poster 
draft) must be made via the Precision Conference System.
Send queries about Interactive posters to (posters2014 /at/ cscw.acm.org)


PANELS: 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. The best 
panels provide opportunities for audience participation. We especially 
encourage innovative formats that will address relevant, critical and 
contemporary topics, engage the audience and provoke discussion and 
engage multiple disciplines in productive dialog.

Panel proposals should be no longer than 4 pages in the SIGCHI Extended 
Abstracts format. Panel submissions should be e-mailed to the Panels 
Co-Chairs at (panels2014 /at/ cscw.acm.org).


DEMOS: CSCW 2014 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.

Demo submission categories: At CSCW 2014, the primary type of demo is 
the Reception Demo. Reception Demos will be showcased during a special 
demo reception. These demonstrations will be spaced around a large room, 
and will run concurrently during the block of time set aside for 
demonstrations. Attendees will be free to explore the room and visit 
demos of interest. This promotes informal interaction and in-depth 
information exchange among demo presenters and attendees. A demo 
presentation should be brief so that it can be shown repeatedly to many 
attendees.

Demonstrators may also propose an Integrated Demo. Integrated Demos will 
run throughout the conference, and should enhance the conference 
experience for attendees. Because integrated demos can directly affect 
participants’ conference experience, they will be held to a higher 
standard of quality and robustness than reception demos. Examples of 
integrated demos might be systems that enable social networking, or that 
enable collaborative reflection on conference presentations.

Demo submissions consist of two components: (1) a two-page extended 
abstract in the Extended Abstracts format, and (2) a demo system summary 
that describes the logistics of the demonstration. We also highly 
encourage authors to also include (3) a video of the system in action, 
particularly if it helps illustrate the proposed demonstration (at most 
2 minutes long).

The extended abstract, system summary, and URL for accessing the video 
should be e-mailed to the Demonstrations Co-Chairs at 
(demos2014 /at/ cscw.acm.org). All demonstrations will be advertised and 
showcased in the conference pack and throughout the conference.



DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM: CSCW this a forum in which Ph.D. students meet and 
discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced 
researchers and practitioners. The colloquium itself will begin with 
dinner Saturday night February 15, 2014 and continue all day Sunday 
February 16, 2014. All submissions must be received by the chairs by 
5:00pm (17:00) Pacific Time on October 7, 2013. Submissions received 
after this date will not be considered. All submissions will be 
acknowledged by email.

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.

Applicants should be Ph.D. students with an already well-established 
direction of research relevant to CSCW, but whose research would benefit 
from guidance provided by peers and senior colleagues at the Doctoral 
Colloquium. Preference will be given to students who have a defined 
topic and program of work e.g., who have proposed their topics and are 
within 2 years of graduation within a 5 year program or are half way 
through a 3 (or 4) year program.

The Colloquium committee will select approximately 15 participants who 
will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work 
during the Colloquium, to be followed by extensive group discussion. 
Participants will also present their research in an interactive poster 
session during the main technical program of the conference.

Applicants should submit the following items by email to 
(dc2014 /at/ cscw.acm.org) with the subject line "CSCW2014 Colloquium 
Submission." All items below should be collated into one PDF file named 
YOURNAME_CSCWDC2014.pdf (substitute your full name where it reads YOURNAME):

* A FOUR-page overview of your doctoral research that describes your 
research question, work in progress, and expected contributions. This 
overview should also include (1) a paragraph that articulates what you 
hope to gain from attending the CSCW Doctoral Colloquium, and (2) an 
abstract of no more than 100 words. Your overview will be published in 
the ACM Digital Library and distributed to all attendees as part of the 
Conference Extended Abstracts.
Please submit your overview in the Extended Abstracts Format.
* A short (2-3 paragraph) biographical sketch on another page.
* An up-to-date curriculum vitae.
* Optionally, one publication that you feel best illustrates your 
progress in your research.
* An email letter from your supervisor sent to (dc2014 /at/ cscw.acm.org) 
indicating that they support your application to the colloquium and that 
they agree that your research is at an appropriate stage for 
participation. These letters should also make reference to how you might 
benefit from the Doctoral Colloquium and how they expect that you might 
benefit the other students in this group experience. The email should 
have "CSCW Doctoral Colloquium: " + YOUR NAME in the subject header.
