[edit] Second Workshop on "Collaborative Web Environments"
Organizers: Deirdre Lee, Wolfgang Gräther
[edit] Introduction
As the Web evolves, new and improved ways of collaborating are emerging; in business, in education, and socially. This workshop aims to bring together designers, practitioners and researchers who share an interest in the study and design of Collaborative Web Environments. The list of possible topics is shown below; specific issues will be determined by paper submissions. Each submission will be evaluated according to three acceptance criteria: relevancy to workshop, scientific merit, writing style. All submissions will be reviewed by the organizers and at most two other external parties. Submissions will be balanced so that complementary perspectives are incorporated within the workshop.
All accepted submissions will be posted to a website (BSCW-based) to enable preliminary exchanges among workshop participants before the conference. Participants will be instructed to create a poster of their submission for demonstration during the workshop.
Our half-day workshop will be structured as follows: welcome and introduction of organizers, poster ‘madness’ where participants introduce themselves and briefly advertise their work, coffee break and poster session with mingling to encourage small group discussions, discussions in groups, wrap up. Workshop proceedings will be published online.
The number of participants is limited to 12.
This workshop is supported by the ECOSPACE project.
