during this spring/summer! Please see message/CFP below. 

Conference topics include:

• Theoretical and/or conceptual issues about key concepts relevant to
CSCW and HCI, including critique.
• Social, behavioral, and computational studies of collaboration and
communication.
• Technical architectures supporting collaboration.
• New tool/toolkits for collaborative technologies.
• Ethnographic studies of collaborative practices.
• Coordination and workflow technology.
• Social computing and contexts of collaboration.
• Online communities, including issues of privacy, identity, trust, and
participation.
• Cooperative knowledge management.
• Organizational issues of technology design, use, or adaptation.
• Strategies for use of technology in business, government, and newer
forms of organizations.
• Emerging technologies in work, home, leisure, entertainment, or
education.
• Learning at the workplace (CSCL at work, Technology-Enhanced
Learning, TEL).
• Co-located and geographically-distributed teams, global
collaboration.
• Cultural and cross-cultural collaboration and communication.
• Mobile and wearable technologies in collaboration.

General Information

For over 25 years, the ACM International Conference on Supporting Group
Work is a premier venue for research on Computer Supported Cooperative
Work, Human Computer Interaction, Computer Supported Collaborative
Learning and Socio-Technical Studies. The conference integrates work in
social science, computer science, engineering, design, values, and other
diverse topics of interest and concern. Group 2016 continues the
tradition of being truly international in both organizational structure
as well as participants.

Key goals for the program are to encourage and facilitate researchers
within CSCW and HCI to interact across disciplinary boundaries. We
encourage high-level research contributions from interdisciplinary
groups to present work which might be difficult to place within one
simple category. We are open for a plurality of research methods, and
are looking forward to the latest findings within broad areas such as
systems, society, participation, critique, collaboration, and human
interaction in different types of collaborative practices. GROUP 2016 in
particular would like to encourage practitioners, industrial partners,
academics, and other interested people to participate. Participation can
take different forms.

For the first time in 2016, authors of newly published papers from the
Journal of CSCW
(http://link.springer.com/journal/10606<http://link.springer.com/journal/10606>)
will have the occasion to present their papers in the conference.

Submissions to the conference are welcome in the form of:

Research Papers (both short and long).
This venue gives the occasion to present and interact with the
audience. Accepted papers will be published in the Conference
Proceedings and ACM Digital Library. Please use the ACM standard format
for submissions. We invite archival submissions in the form of either
full Papers or shorter contributions (Notes). A Note is a brief report
of a more limited, but definitive, outcome or theoretical development.
There is no page limit for Papers or Notes, although clear rationale
should be given for Papers that exceed 10 pages or for Notes that exceed
4 pages.

Design Fiction (NEW in 2016) - Fictive Futures: Exploring Future
Research Agendas.
We seek submissions that imagine possible futures for research on the
relationships between computers and people. Submissions will include two
portions: a fictional document related to the conduct of research and an
author statement about the document. The fiction document could be an
extended abstract, a call for papers, an excerpt from API documentation,
a book review, a study protocol for IRB review, or any other relevant
type. The author statement should connect that document to current
events, cite on-going research in the field, or otherwise extrapolate
how the envisioned future might arise from our given present. This
statement will be especially important for abstracts (which are too
short to explain their rationale), API documentations (which typically
do not provide a historical rationale), and other documents that on
their own may be exceptionally short and/or vague. Because Design
Fictions are archival contributions, we recommend a minimum length of 3
pages (notes), and as many as 10 pages (papers), following the  ACM
standard format. The reviewing process will be the same as the general
track, and Design Fiction papers or notes will be included in the
proceedings.

Work-in-Progress Papers (WP).
Carried-over from 2014, WPs are contributions in which the authors are
working towards an archival journal submission and would like to discuss
their work with their colleagues at GROUP. Our goal is to broaden the
conversations at GROUP, with a format that may appeal to colleagues
whose primary publications are in journals, rather than conference
papers. WPs will not be published in the conference proceedings, but
will be distributed in a paper based conference supplement at the GROUP
conference for the attendees only. Therefore, you are free to seek
formal publication of a draft journal submission that appears in a WP.
The WP review process will be *lightweight*, without any revisions asked
to the authors, to expand the GROUP community and discussions. 

Posters and Demos.
Posters and demos are an opportunity to present late-breaking and
preliminary results, smaller results not suitable for a Paper or Note
submission, innovative ideas not yet validated through user studies,
student research in early phases, and other research best presented in
this open format. Posters and demos will be displayed at a special
session in the conference when poster and demo authors will be available
to discuss their work. Poster submissions should include an extended
abstract no longer than 4 pages, including all figures and references,
in ACM Standard Format (available here). In addition, submissions should
also include a separate Tabloid (A3 or 11 x 17 inches) sized draft of
the poster for review purposes. Both the extended abstract and the
poster draft should include author names (these are not anonymous
submissions). 

Workshops.
Workshops provide an informal and focused environment for the
information exchange and discussion of Group related topics. We offer
half or full day workshop venues. Proposals should include an abstract
(max 150 words), a title, description of workshop theme, aim, goals,
activities and potential outcomes. It should also specify audio/visual
equipment needed, maximum number of participants, the duration of the
workshop (half or full day) and the names and backgrounds of the
organizer(s). Please submit a maximum of four pages, using the ACM
standard format for submissions. We encourage topics suitable for
developing new ideas and deep discussions. 

Doctoral Colloquium.
The Doctoral Colloquium provides a forum for sharing ongoing Ph.D.
projects of participants with other advanced Ph.D. students and
distinguished faculty for mentoring and feedback. Space is limited, so
an application of up to four pages is required, in the ACM standard
format. 

Accepted research papers, notes, posters, and doctoral consortium
extended abstracts are published in the ACM Press Conference Proceedings
and in the ACM digital Library. Accepted Workshop proposals will be
published in a paper-based supplement.
