In this workshop we will explore how the experience of smart conference rooms can be broadened to include different contexts and media such as context-aware mobile systems, personal and professional videoconferencing, virtual worlds, and social software. How should the technologies behind conference room systems reflect the rapidly changing expectations around personal devices and social online spaces like Facebook, Twitter, and Second Life? What kinds of systems are needed to support meetings in technologically complex environments? How can a mashup of conference room spaces and technologies account for differing social and cultural practices around meetings? What requirements are imposed by security and privacy issues in public and semi-public spaces?
To participate, send position papers (PDFs) in 2-column ACM SIGCHI format to Maribeth Back (back@fxpal.com). We prefer 2 pages, but will accept papers up to 6 pages in length (see the CSCW workshop web site for formatting instructions). The paper deadline is September 19. Note that papers will be published in the adjunct proceedings.
Selecting participants
Selection of workshop participants and presentations will be based on refereed submissions. Authors are invited to submit a 1-2 page position statement describing their interest, experience or ongoing research in the field, and including a brief biography. Position statements should have only one author, and admission to the workshop will be for that person only. Position statements should be sent directly to back@fxpal.com and will be published on the website. We would like to cap the workshop at about 20 participants (including organizers). The depth of response to previous related workshops reveals considerable continued interest in the topic, and we believe that entry will be competitive.
