Miami University

Computers and the Internet are becoming increasingly important mediums for social interaction. Many types of relationships including business, 
casual, and intimate are formed and maintained through the use of computer- mediated communication (CMC). The CSI 2K3 conference is an effort to bring together leading researchers in the field of CMC to discuss the psychological implications of technology on social relationships.

We also invite individuals to submit proposals for poster or 10 minute 
oral presentations on topics related to the area of computer-supported 
social interaction. The poster/paper sessions will be scheduled around 
the featured presentations. We welcome proposals from any discipline 
relevant to the theme of the conference; submissions can be of an 
empirical nature or a theoretical/conceptual paper. Students are 
particularly encouraged to submit poster proposals.

Topics may include but are not limited to: *Electronic team performance 
*Computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) 
*Online relationships 
*Distance learning and education 
*Gender and technology 
*Internet research methodology 
*Research ethics 
*Human-computer interaction 
*Electronic commerce/privacy

Submission Guidelines 
Authors must submit a 500-word proposal by March 24th, 2003. The abstract should present a brief yet detailed description of the problem, methodology, results and/or potential implications.
