ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work s now an annual conference and, for the first time ever, it is taking place outside of North America - this time in China. Despite this change in timing and location, we are pleased to report that the number of submissions for 2011 was in the same range as last year. Moreover, following the United States, China was the second largest contributing nation with 22 submissions.
In total, we received 264 papers and notes. These ranged across many different areas, including: designs for new communication and collaboration applications; new interaction techniques for novel hardware like tabletops and public displays; studies of groupware deployment and use, especially in the realm of new social media like micro-blogging and social networking sites; and methods for analyzing social interaction. These submissions addressed a wide range of applications domains, including: healthcare, rural areas, online gaming, mobile computing, preschool, colleges, community workers, and global software development. We think you will be impressed with the final line-up of 58 submissions that made it into CSCW 2011.
