face="Times New Roman">The CSCW Conference is an ideal venue for presenting
research and development achievements in the design, introduction, and use of
technology that affect groups, organizations communities and societies. Although
work is an important area of focus for the conference - the conference has
traditionally focused on such topics as the use of email, chat, voicemail and
videoconferencing in supporting people's work activities and working
relationships - technology is increasingly supporting a wide range of
recreational and social activities. As consumer markets continue to expand, more
and more people are able to connect online and we are moving toward a Computer
Supported Cooperative World. Appropriate topic areas for CSCW 2002 therefore
include all contexts in which technology is used to mediate communication,
coordination, cooperation and even competition among people, including
entertainment, games, art, music and the remote sharing of intimate moments.

perspectives is strongly encouraged. We welcome submissions from researchers and
practitioners in all sectors, including academia, industry and government.

ideas not yet validated through user studies, student research, and other
research best presented in this open format. Interactive Poster submissions
should include a poster abstract of no longer than 2 pages, including all

participants to view novel or noteworthy CSCW systems in action, discuss the

demonstrations include applications, technologies, research prototypes and
products. This forum is not an opportunity for marketing or sales presentations.
Presenters must have been directly involved with the development of the system
and be able to explain the differentiating and novel contributions of the
system. Demo proposals should be a maximum of 4
pages.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>
