Collaborating over Paper and Digital Documents (COPADD 2006)
CSCW Workshop
4th November 2006
Banff, Alberta, Canada
When observing everyday settings it is amazing how the use of the paper
persists even when technologies are introduced to replace it. Paper
seems to support collaboration in ways that sophisticated technologies
cannot. Recently a number of technologies have been developed that seek
to exploit the 'affordances of paper'. These include displays with many
of the visible and material qualities of paper, digital pens for
capturing writing and drawing and other techniques that seek to take
advantage of innovations in paper, ink, electronic imaging and detection
devices. Although these technologies have not been developed with the
specific aim of supporting collaboration, they seem to offer unique
capabilities for supporting everyday work activities and interaction. We
believe it is timely to hold a first international workshop to discuss
the implications of such technologies for supporting collaborative work
This will be of interest not only to those within CSCW, but also those
with an interest in ubiquitous technologies, innovative support for new
media, multi-modal interaction and particular domains such as
publishing, education and healthcare.
We invite researchers to this workshop from a wide range of disciplines
including the social sciences, human-computer interaction, information
sciences, ubiquitous computing and collaborative systems, as well as
experts in paper, printing, digital pen and screen technologies. The
workshop will consist of short presentations and demonstrations intended
to inform participants of on-going projects and stimulate open
discussion. One session will be devoted to technological innovations,
one to studies and experience and one to future developments.
Presentations will be selected based on reviews of submitted abstracts
and all accepted abstracts will be published on a workshop web site
before the workshop. This web site will also support on-line discussions
and exchanges of information before and after the workshop. To help with
planning we would appreciate an indication whether you would be
interested in attending the Workshop by 4th August.
