The Collaborative Innovation Networks Conference (COINs) invites you to
submit your papers, workshop proposals, and artifacts to the 4th annual
international conference to be held in Santiago de Chile, hosted by
Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile from August 11 to August 13, 2013.
COINS13 brings together practitioners, researchers and students of the
emerging science of collaboration to share their work, learn from each
other, and get inspired through creative new ideas. Conference activities
will take place throughout the historic cities of Santiago and Valparaiso.
Attendees will be encouraged to engage with the community, meet local
entrepreneurs, artists, and designers, take a guided tour of the city, and
participate in hands-on workshops and interactive sessions.

Last year’s conference in Basel, Switzerland followed the success of the
previous two COINS Conferences hosted by the Savannah College of Art and
Design, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) Center for Collective Intelligence and Wayne State University.

Where science, design, business and art meet, COINS13 looks at the emerging
forces behind the phenomena of open-source, creative, entrepreneurial and
social movements. Through interactive workshops, professional
presentations, and fascinating keynotes, COINS13 combines a wide range of
interdisciplinary fields such as social network analysis, group dynamics,
design and visualization, information systems, collective action and the
psychology and sociality of collaboration.

The best papers will be selected for a special issue of the International
Journal of Organisational Design and Engineering (IJODE;
http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=IJODE).

Program Chairs: Marisa Von Bülow (PUC) & Cristobal Garcia (PUC)
Proceedings Chair: Peter Gloor (MIT)

Learning from the Swarm

The COINS13 conference committee seeks original paper submissions, creative
workshop ideas and concepts, unique artifacts or installations, and
engaging rapid-fire presentations celebrating the theme “Learning from the
Swarm”. This year we are asking what is relevant with regard to the
innovative powers of creative and civic swarms, what are the observable
qualities of virtual collaboration and mobilization, and how does the quest
for global cooperation affect local networks. We invite both theoretical
and practice-based dialogues, case studies, scientific papers,
technological solutions, research studies, and interactive artifacts that
thoroughly reflect this year’s conference theme.

We invite researchers and designers to submit their latest scientific
results and experimental design solutions as full research papers, workshop
proposals, and artifact demonstrations in the following conference themes:


   -

   Networks & Collaboration in a Global Context: Optimization through
   Collaboration | Teamwork through virtually enhanced Collaboration |
   Measuring the performance of COINs | Patterns of swarm creativity
   -

   Group Dynamics, Social Movements & Net Activism: Collaborative Learning
   | Collaborative Leadership  | Design & visualization of interdisciplinary
   collaboration  | Virtual Teaming
   -

   Individual & Social Learning: The psychology and sociality of
   collaboration and collective action  | Social Behavior Modeling | Social
   Intelligence and Social Cognition
   -

   Tools and Methods: Social System Design and Architectures  | Dynamic
   Social Network Analysis  | Semantic Social Network Analysis | Actor Network
   Theory


The increase of online social network communication opens up unprecedented
opportunities to read the collective mind, revealing trends while they are
still being hatched by small groups of creative individuals. The Web has
become a mirror of the real world, allowing researchers, in fields of
social & behavioral science as well as design, to study and better
understand why some new ideas change our lives, while others never make it
from the drawing board of the innovator. Collaborative Innovation Networks,
or COINs, are cyberteams of self-motivated people with a collective vision,
enabled by technology to collaborate, challenge the status-quo and innovate
by sharing ideas, information, resources and work.  COINs are powered by
swarm creativity, wherein people work together in a structure that enables
a fluid creation and exchange of ideas. ‘Coolhunting’ – the discovering,
analyzing, and measuring of trends and trendsetters as well as movers and
shakers – puts COINs to productive use.

Below are the details and deadlines for the submission of Papers,
Workshops, Artifacts, and Pecha Kucha sessions.

Papers:
Submission Deadline May 15, 2013

COINS13 seeks original, high-quality papers that reflect the full breadth
and scope of collaboration science and design including: bold research
ideas, conceptual developments, research investigations, methodological &
theoretical advances, design ideas, development experiences and more.
Submissions should report original research, reflections on theoretical
concerns, methodological advances, or other insights that contribute to our
understanding of all aspects of collaboration and help advance the state of
knowledge for the community. We encourage perspectives from diverse
disciplinary backgrounds.
Papers should be submitted in .doc or .pdf format.
Authors are required to attend the conference to present their work.
Submit papers by May 15, 2013 on EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13

Important Dates:
May 15, 2013 | Deadline for Paper Submissions
June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the
paper
July 30, 2013 | Final copy for conference to publications chair
August 11-13 | Paper presentations at COINS13, Santiago, Chile

Workshops:
Proposals Submission Deadline May 15, 2013

Workshops will take place during the conference and will form part of the
main program. This year we are accepting proposals for both two-hour and
four-hour sessions.

Workshops are intended to provide a forum for exchanging ideas, sharing
experiences, fostering conversation and research communities, learning from
each other, exploring controversies, engaging in debate, envisioning future
directions and elaborating new methods and perspectives.

Workshop activities can range from open forum discussion, to demonstrations
or presentations with discussion, to collaborative activities such as
structured brainstorming, illustrative games or role-plays. Whatever the
focus or format, organizers will be required to schedule time for
conversation, reflection, discussion, and debate. Although we envision most
workshop activities to take place in one setting, let us know if your
workshop will venture out into other sites in Santiago.
Workshop proposals should include:

   - a summary of 500 words describing the theme(s) of the workshop
   - a longer detailed description of the workshop structure, activities
   and goals
   - the names, contact information and background of the organizer(s)
   - the maximum number of participants you'd like to attend the workshop
   - anticipated A/V requirements.


Please be as specific as possible as it helps us in selection, and in
helping you plan the workshop.

Workshop participants will be registered on a first come first served basis
by the conference committee, so the workshop organizers will not be able to
select their participants.

Accepted workshops will be publicized via the COINS13 website within a
month after organizers are notified. Workshop organizers will also be
encouraged to promote COINS13 and their workshops to potential attendees.
Submit proposals by May 15, 2013 to:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13. Additionally, please
include your email address and other contact details.

Important Dates:
May 15, 2013 | Deadline for workshop Submissions
June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the
paper
August 11-13 | Workshop at COINS13, Santiago, Chile



Artifacts:
Proposals Submission Deadline June 1, 2013

The artifacts category seeks to provide participants with an opportunity to
present work in a forum that facilitates open discussion and enables direct
interaction with conference attendees. A dedicated session will be held
during the conference to present the artifacts.

Artifacts can be anything from design sketchbooks, to reformed
organizational processes, to ads you’ve produced, to products you’ve made,
to short films, to conceptual objects, etc. We encourage submissions that
are thought provoking and visually engaging, and which cover
exploratory/speculative work, smaller projects, unusual representations of
ethnographic work, and so on. The form of the presented materials is open.
In keeping with the category title artifacts though, we encourage
submissions based on some material instantiation that can be exhibited at
the conference. Our hope is that it will be the ‘thinginess’ of the
artifacts that will, in part, prompt interaction with and between
conference attendees.

Submissions should include a single page describing or illustrating the
proposed submission (the one page inclusive of any and all figures and
references, where appropriate). This page should convey to reviewers what
the artifact being submitted is and how it is hoped to provoke discussion.
The page will also be included in the published conference proceedings.

Also included in the submissions should be a paragraph and image (no more
that 150 words) that can be displayed on the conference website.

Please submit these submission materials by June 1, 2013 to:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13   Additionally, please
include your email address and other contact details.

Important Dates:
June 1, 2013 | Deadline for artifacts Submissions

June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the
artifact. Accepted submissions will have their 150 word descriptions posted
on the COINS13 website. Descriptions (including images) of accepted
artifacts will be published in the COINS13 Proceedings.
July 30, 2013 | Final papers due
August 11-13 | artifacts presentations at COINS13, Santiago, Chile. The
artifact itself should be transported to Santiago for the conference.
