CRIWG 2002 - 8th Cyted-Ritos International Workshop on Groupware
01 Sep 2002 to 04 Sep 2002
The Eighth International Workshop on Groupware follows on the success of previous CRIWG workshops held in Lisbon, Portugal (1995), Puerto Varas, Chile (1996), El Escorial, Spain (1997), Buzios, Brazil (1998), Cancun, Mexico (1999), Madeira Island, Portugal (2000), and Darmstadt, Germany (2001).
The CRIWG workshops have been motivated by recent advances in computer-supported cooperative work, and by the need for CSCW to meet the challenges of new application areas. This workshop aims at providing a forum for academic researchers and professionals to exchange experiences and to engage in discussions of the research issues in designing, building, and using groupware applications. CRIWG is rooted in the Ibero-American community of researchers in CSCW, but it is completely open to contributors and participants from anywhere.
Researchers can report these experiences to CRIWG through two categories of contributions: full technical papers and work in progress papers. In addition, Ph.D. candidates can submit to the doctoral colloquium. All topics related to the groupware area are welcome, including: · Virtual groups and virtual worlds
· Collaborative workspaces, Tailoring
· Workflow management and coordination
· Groupware development frameworks and toolkits
· Distribution support
· Group decision and negotiation support, Meetingware
· Multi-user interfaces, Group Awareness
· Hypermedia systems, Digital libraries
· Cooperative Learning
· Monitoring and analysis of group interactions
· Organizational computing
· Social aspects of group work
· Work modeling
It is expected that the workshop will promote a very intensive interaction among those attending it, giving ample time to discuss papers. Each full paper will have a 45-minute slot for presentation and discussion. Work in Progress will have 30 minutes. In both cases, a moderator will present his/her view of the paper to initiate the discussion.
The Workshop Proceedings will include contributions accepted by the Program Committee, and will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes of Computer Science (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html).
