ACM CHI 2010 Workshop

April 11, 2010, Atlanta, GA, USA

Submission deadline: January 6, 2010

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Social connectedness is described as the momentary experience of belonging and relatedness with others and is often considered one of the goals of social media technologies. We seek participants from various domains for an interdisciplinary workshop on designing and evaluating affective aspects of sociable media to support social connectedness. Position papers are invited on the following topics:
(1) understanding and measuring social connectedness (including qualitative and quantitative approaches)
(2) types of content mediated by sociable media to foster users' social connectedness (including issues of privacy management)
(3) design experiences and interaction affordances of connectedness systems
(4) case studies that involve the design of awareness systems for social connectedness, or studies where social connectedness is used as a medium to support other goal
The goal of this workshop is connecting researchers from social science and design disciplines to foster future collaboration and resource exchange. Through our discussion, we hope to crystallize a concrete research agenda for investigating social connectedness systems. A concrete outcome of the workshop will be a proposal for a special issue of a journal on the topic of designing and evaluating social connectedness systems that the organizers will submit to appropriate venues. Interested parties are invited to submit a position paper of 2-4 pages, in the CHI Extended Abstracts format, [log in to unmask]
