(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.
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.
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.
Potential authors may wish to look at the archival pages of WETICE ECE '04 and WETICE ECE '05.
