DEADLINE EXTENSION: Papers now due on 2 November
ECSCW 2019 2nd Call for Papers
In response to multiple requests, we are extending the deadline for ECSCW by one week.

CSCW focuses on enhancing our understanding the practices of cooperative work and on exploring and designing CSCW systems. For 30 years, the ECSCW conference has served as a major international venue for defining and further developing the agenda for CSCW research. The conference has a longstanding interest in empirical, conceptual, theoretical and technical contributions and has a tradition of innovation and inclusiveness.

ECSCW 2019 will take place in Salzburg, Austria, from 8-12 June 2019 (see ecscw.eusset.eu/2019).

ECSCW addresses themes which include, but are not limited to:

Empirical investigations of collaborative practices. Findings, guidelines, and/or studies related to communication, collaboration, and social technologies, practices, or use.
System design. How can we support cooperative work in increasingly complex, networked settings? Hardware, architectures, infrastructures, interaction design, technical foundations, algorithms, and/or toolkits that enable the building of new social and collaborative systems and experiences.
Methodologies and tools. Methods for investigating human practices: the nature of ethnography and the role of other innovative methods and tools in building systems or studying their use.
Theories. Critical analysis or theory with clear relevance to study or design of collaborative settings and systems.
Domain-specific social and collaborative applications. Including applications to digital civics, grassroots movements, healthcare, transportation, ICT4D, sustainability, education, accessibility, global collaboration, or other domains.
Ethics and policy implications. Analysis of the implications of socio-technical systems, the values that inform them, and the algorithms that shape them.
Crossing boundaries. Studies, prototypes, or other investigations that explore interactions across disciplines, distance, languages, generations, and cultures, to help better understand how to transcend social, temporal, and/or spatial boundaries.
Design fictions. Discussions and extrapolations of work-practices and technologies, which make a contribution to the core topics of ECSCW. For examples of design fictions from other conferences, please see Proceedings of GROUP 2016 and GROUP 2018 in the ACM Digital Library (https://dl.acm.org).

ECSCW is a single-track conference that contributes to developing an interdisciplinary and global community, sponsored by EUSSET, the European Society for Socially Embedded Technologies (https://www.eusset.eu/). The conference format facilitates critical discussion across disciplinary and national borders in the field. An overview of earlier ECSCW conferences (and proceedings) is available at http://www.ecscw.org/

Submitted papers documenting original, rich, and in-depth contributions to CSCW will follow a journal-level review process. Accepted submissions will be published in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW): The Journal of Collaborative Computing and Work Practices, a journal with a high impact factor of 1.784.

Upon acceptance of the paper for the journal, authors are requested to present their work at the conference.

Important Dates

02.11.2018: paper submission - note revised date
04.01.2019: notification
15.02.2019: resubmission
29.03.2019: final notification
12.04.2019: "production-ready" - JCSCW requires this date - no extensions possible

Authors are encouraged to submit earlier than the deadline. Early submissions will allow for more time for the Revise & Resubmit phase and will generally result into earlier publication of the accepted manuscript in the Journal. Please note that after submitting their articles for production, authors might be required to make additional revisions, according to the publication standards of the Journal.

The papers with a length between 10,000 and 15,000 words (excluding references) may be submitted at the link: https://www.editorialmanager.com/cosu by selecting SI: ECSCW 2019 as article type.

Paper submissions should be formatted following the CSCW Journal Instructions to Authors (https://www.springer.com/computer/journal/10606). Please consult that page for detailed instructions, and the Word template. For authors who prefer to use LaTex, you may find the appropriate template here: http://www.stevenhouben.be/tag/latex-template/ . Please keep in mind that, submissions will be reviewed as journal contributions and that, as per Journal of CSCW policy, the papers review process will be single-blind.

Papers accepted for publication in the CSCW Journal are typeset (taking the digital document as input), however authors who want to use a template for preparing their submissions may want to use this template.
