Please Post and Pass On: You and your colleagues and students are invited to submit papers for the 17th IEEE International Workshop on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE), Evolution of Collaborative Enterprises ECE) Workshop. Workshop on Evolution of Collaborative Enterprises (ECE) (formerly Workshop on Evaluation of Collaborative Information Systems and Support for Virtual Enterprises (ECE)) At the 17th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE) Rome, Italy, June 23-25, 2008. Introduction We are re-launching the ECE Workshop with a focus on the evolutionary nature of collaborative systems and the virtual communities they engender. CSCW systems are necessarily evolutionary in the Lehman sense; and a key rationale for their evaluation is to drive their future evolution by identifying scope for improvement. As this year is the twentieth anniversary of Johansen's book, Groupware: Computer Support for Business Teams, popularising the concept of groupware, it seems appropriate to hold a workshop to reflect on the evolution of CSCW software and the communities it has allowed to develop and thrive over this period and the various studies evaluating these systems and their user communities. This workshops also provides an opportunity to analyse the interaction between the social and technical forces that have shaped the evolution of collaborative environments from early groupware tools to the current social networking tools of today such as FaceBook. Over the last twenty years, we have also seen our research in CSCW evolve as well so the workshop will also offer participants an opportunity for wider reflection on our collaborative research enterprises in CSCW. Call For Papers We invite original research papers, surveys, and experience reports in all areas of CSCW evolution. Given the broad nature of evolution within the CSCW field, we are open to novel approaches to the topic coming from social, socio-technical, and purely technical perspectives. We would especially welcome survey papers from post-graduate students beginning research in CSCW. Important Dates * Full paper submission: March 3, 2008 * Authors Notification: April 21, 2008 * Camera-ready versions: May 26, 2008 * WETICE advanced registration with discount: (see WETICE08 Website <http://www.sel.uniroma2.it/wetice08> ) * WETICE workshops and on-site registration: June 23-25, 2008 Submissions should be emailed to Cornelia Boldyreff <mailto:[log in to unmask]> and ideally be in pdf format.
