[Air-L] CfP: ACM CSCW 2012 Papers & Notes: expanded focus, new review process, deadline June 3

[Joe McCarthy]

The ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social 
Media is a premier venue for presenting research in the design and use 
of technologies that affect groups, organizations, and communities. CSCW 
encompasses both the technical and social challenges encountered when 
supporting collaboration. The development and application of new 
technologies continues to enable new ways of working together and 
coordinating activities. Although work is an area of focus, CSCW 
embraces research and technologies supporting a wide range of 
recreational and social activities using a diverse range of devices. The 
conference brings together top researchers and practitioners from 
academia and industry who are interested in both technical and social 
aspects of collaboration.

CSCW 2012 will be held February 11-15, 2012, in Seattle, Washington, 
USA. The deadline for Papers & Notes submission is June 3; titles and 
abstracts of Papers & Notes must be submitted by May 27.

The early submission date of June 3 reflects a new review process, 
wherein authors of promising submissions will be given a month to revise 
their 10-page Papers and/or 4-page Notes to address concerns raised by 
reviewers and increase their potential for achieving the level of clear 
contribution required for a CSCW Paper or Note. We have instituted this 
process to promote greater diversity while maintaining the high level of 
quality expected of CSCW Papers and Notes. Only complete submissions 
will be reviewed, and not all submissions will be eligible for revision, 
but we hope that the opportunity for revision in some cases may help 
prospective authors from outside the traditional CSCW community to 
structure the presentation of their work in a format that is better 
aligned with CSCW standards.

The complete Call for Participation, including information about 
Workshops, CSCW Horizon, Demonstrations, Panels, Posters, Videos, the 
Doctoral Colloquium, and Student Volunteers - as well as Papers and 
Notes - can be found at cscw2012.org <http://cscw2012.org>. You can also
