ECSCW07 Call for Papers 
-----------------------
The Tenth European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW)
will take place in Limerick, Ireland, 24-28 September 2007. 

Information on the conference is available at the conference website:
www.ecscw07.org 
 
The conference is soliciting high quality contributions for a single-track
paper program. Papers should present original reports of substantive new
work and make clear the novel aspects of the research they present and its
contribution to the development of CSCW theory and CSCW systems design. 

In particular, the conference welcomes:
- Papers reporting novel techniques and technologies relevant to CSCW;
- Empirical studies of work that contribute to the design space of CSCW;
- And theoretical papers that enhance the conceptual foundations of CSCW. 

All papers will be evaluated on their novelty, significance, quality, and
contribution to the field. Accepted papers will be included in the
conference proceedings published by Springer, will be indexed in digital
libraries, and will be made freely available on the web (www.ecscw.org). 

ECSCW 2007 requires that submissions have not been published previously and
that papers submitted are not under simultaneous review for any other
conference, journal, or other publication.

Papers must be formatted in strict accordance with the ECSCW formatting
instructions (see author kit and paper templates available at the conference
website) and must be submitted in PDF format. Papers should be up to 20
pages in length; however, it is important that their length is appropriate
for their content. 

Papers must be rendered anonymous to facilitate blind review, and authors
should take care throughout their paper that their own and their
institution's identity is not revealed. However, relevant references to an
author's previous research should not be suppressed, if they are required
for reviewers to understand and evaluate the paper's contribution. 

All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Details will be
available shortly at the ECSCW 2007 website: www.ecscw07.org

Important dates
- 23 March 2007 Paper submissions due (electronic submission)
- 8th May 2007 Accept/reject notification
- 8th June 2007 Finished papers (camera-ready electronic submission)

Other submission categories:

Workshops  and Master classes
These will take place on 22-23 September 2007. Workshops are designed to
offer an informal environment for focused group discussion and learning.
Workshops may be for half-day or full day sessions. Master classes will
offer a small number of participants the opportunity to learn about specific
CSCW concepts, methods and techniques from recognised experts. 
Chair: Mark Rouncefield, Lancaster University
 
Demos & Videos 
Live demonstrations and videos form an important part of the Conference
technical programme. Demonstrations of both research prototypes and
commercial products by those directly involved in developing the systems are
welcomed. 
Chair: Annette Aboulafia, University of Limerick

Posters 
Poster submissions graphically illustrating original CSCW systems,
experiences, or applications are invited. Successful posters will be on show
for the duration of the conference. 
Chair: David Pinelle, University of Nevada Las Vegas

Doctoral Colloquium
Doctoral Colloquium offers PhD students in CSCW the opportunity to present
and discuss their work with each other as well as a number of experienced
CSCW researchers. Students from all the CSCW related disciplines are
encouraged to apply, although numbers will be limited. 
Chairs: Alex Taylor, Microsoft UK and Susanne Bødker, University of Aarhus 

Panels
Panel proposals will be accepted on an ad hoc basis, subject to the approval
of the Programme chairs.
