The ERCIM World-Wide Web Working Group (W4G) and GMD invite you to participate in an open international workshop on support for collaboration on the Web.
Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) has been an issue of active research for more than a decade. The World-Wide Web offers unique possibilities as an underlying infrastructure to support collaborative work across the internet. On the other hand, the architecture of the Web imposes some barriers to CSCW applications that are hard to overcome. Over the last year, Web-based collaborative applications have started to emerge.
The aims of this workshop are to establish contacts between people with an active interest in this field and to learn from each other's experiences about the opportunities and problems involved in the design, construction, and deployment of Web-based systems to support collaboration. Also, the results of the workshop may feed into the work that is carried out by INRIA and ERCIM on behalf of W3C. Persons involved in research on the topic of this workshop (whether from a CSCW or from a WWW background) are particularly encouraged to participate. See the full version of this announcement for more information.
Important dates:
Presentations have to be submitted before January 5.
Workshop participants should register before January 25.
Registration: Persons who want to give a presentation should submit an extended abstract, briefly describing what they want to present. Persons who want to participate and not give a presentation are encouraged to submit a position paper stating their background and interest in the workshop. See the full version for more details.
The size of the workhop is limited to 40 participants.
The registration fee is DM 100,- (VAT included)
