ECSCW 2013 Workshops and Master Classes Program, Paphos, Cyprus, September 21-22, 2013
by Matthias Korn 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

::: ECSCW 2013 ::: Call for Workshop submissions and Master Class applications The 13th European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW 2013) Paphos, Cyprus, September 21-25, 2013. https://ecscw2013.cs.ucy.ac.cy/index.php?p=Workshops Workshops and Master Classes will be held on Saturday 21 - Sunday 22 September. Workshops submission deadline: June 28, 2013 It is our pleasure to announce the ECSCW 2013 pre-conference program. ECSCW 2013 will feature 9 workshops and 1 master class covering a wide range of topics and formats. A list of the accepted workshops is appended to this email. The full details of the program are available on the ECSCW 2013 web site: https://ecscw2013.cs.ucy.ac.cy/index.php?p=Workshops We are looking forward to seeing you at ECSCW and to participating in the exciting program that we were able to put together for ECSCW 2013. Matthias Korn Pär-Ola Zander ECSCW 2013 Workshops and Master Classes Co-Chairs MC1: Half-Day Master Class: Co-producing assisted living technologies and services Rob Procter, Joe Wherton, Trish Greenhalgh, Paul Sugarhood, Mark Rouncefield, Guy Dewsbury In this master class, we develop and expand on themes concerning the challenges of understanding the assisted living needs of older people in domestic settings, and methods for involving them and their carers in the co-production of assisted living technologies and services. It has the overall objective of developing an understanding and appreciation of the benefits and the various practical issues involved in facilitating a ‘bricolage’ approach to the dependable co-production of assisted living technologies. Website: http://www.atheneproject.org WS1: Participatory Publics: Civic technology and local communities Olav W. Bertelsen, Susanne Bødker, Martin Brynskov, Christopher A. Le Dantec, Anne Marie Kanstrup, Volkmar Pipek New forms of community technologies are focused on supporting local, geographically connected communities directly through neighborhoods and civic activity. The workshop will address the following questions: What constitutes participation in community settings and how is it supported/augmented through IT? How do we understand the relationships between participation, community and technology in these (emerging) settings? It will be based on examples of technology supported participatory publics brought to the workshop by participants. Website: http://pit.au.dk/ws1_ecscw2013 WS2: CSCW at the Boundary of Work and Life Luigina Ciolfi, Gabriela Avram, Erik Grönvall, Chiara Rossitto, Louise Barkhuus This workshop will explore how CSCW themes, concepts and sensibilities can be extended and applied to practices blurring the boundary between work and life. Technology has moved from workplaces to become part of nearly every aspect of everyday life. Similarly, CSCW research spans not only work settings and practices, but also other life domains, from family life, to gaming, tourism and other leisure activities. However, the neat distinction between which activities are work-related and which are not is becoming less and less meaningful as often the spheres of work and life blur into each other. Similarly, the use of technology is not limited to specific work vs. non-work situations. This workshop will discuss how to look at this blurring of practices, spheres of life and expectations: is it a problematic issue that should be addressed, or a new way of working and living that people are increasingly embracing? How do people coordinate and interact when work tasks, personal tasks and leisure tasks blur into each other, and how to support/facilitate/mediate this through design? Website: http://cscwworkandlife.wordpress.com/ WS3: MoRoCo – Models and their Role in Collaboration Alexander Nolte, Michael Prilla, Peter Rittgen, Stefan Oppl Using visual representations (models) of work or business processes can be considered a common practice in modern organizations. They are used to document current practices, to inform people about processes and to plan change or software development. As they include and affect multiple stakeholders, it has been found reasonable to develop and use them collaboratively to negotiate or coordinate work practice. In practice, however, models are seldom used or developed collaboratively, resulting in low impact of models and stakeholders in them on organizational development and change. Given the potential of collaborative work on models, we need a better understanding on how they can be developed and used collaboratively in order to leverage their role as artifacts of collaborative work in practice. The MoRoCo 2013 workshop focuses thus on collaborative work with and development of models. It aims at build a big picture of research on the role that models play in collaborative work in order to set up a common research agenda among participating researchers and practitioners alike. The workshop is a follow up to the workshop on "Collaborative usage and development of models and visualization" held at ECSCW 2011 (proceedings are available online at http://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/Vol-777/) which resulted in a special issue of the International Journal for eCollaboration (2013, in press). For this workshop the organizers are planning a similar course of events. Website: http://moroco2013.wordpress.com WS4: Francophone Ergonomics and CSCW – a comparative analysis Françoise Darses, Pascal Salembier, Kjeld Schmidt, Ina Wagner The Francophone tradition of work analysis, with its rich repertoire of field studies, various forms of analysis, and conceptual frameworks, provides a very interesting perspective on forms of work activity. Although this perspective has been present for many years in ECSCW conferences and in the CSCW Journal, it has remained relatively isolated from the mainstream discussion within CSCW. The objective of the proposed workshop is to start an in-depth discussion of Francophone ergonomics and its conceptual and methodological contributions to CSCW research. Website: https://sites.google.com/site/workshopcscwfrancoergo/home WS5: Designing Mobile Face-to-Face Group Interactions Joel Fischer, Stuart Reeves, Steve Benford, Chris Greenhalgh This workshop is concerned with understanding the nature of face-to-face group interactions in mobile, but collocated settings. It seeks to examine group-sensitive design examples, concepts and techniques, research methods and approaches to study group activities, and to learn how these social activities might be respected and supported by design. We aim to bring together researchers interested in the social organisation of face-to-face interaction, and designers of collaborative groupware and mobile, interactive experiences to explore opportunities and challenges for the design and study of experiences, apps and systems that support, augment or enable collocated activities. Website: http://groupinteractions.wordpress.com/ WS6: Web2Touch (W2T’13): Coping with the evolution and security of shared Web information Rodrigo Bonacin, Mariagrazia Fugini, Olga Nabuco, Cédric Pruski Collaboration using the Web introduces special challenges when content needs to be consistent and reliable over time and under rapid evolution of contents resulting from collaboration activities. The development of collaborative Web-based environments is an open issue particularly on the topics of organization and management of shared information in a reliable and secure manner. Semantic Web techniques have been extensively used to address problems of knowledge management and sharing over the Web during the highly dynamic life of cooperative applications. The focus till now has been mainly on static knowledge organization; however the next generation of semantic techniques will have to face evolving knowledge organization and will need to cope with security, trust, reliability of what is exchanged in the Web. The goal of the W2T workshop is to provide a venue for researchers and practitioners within the field of secure and knowledge-intensive Web collaboration using semantic techniques to share experiences, discuss challenges and opportunities to cope with frequent evolution of knowledge during cooperative processes based on the Web as a collaborative platform. W2T focuses also on security of highly evolutive knowledge during collaborative processes. W2T brings together applications, conceptual models and methods to provide a multidisciplinary view of the application of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) and of security techniques in the CSCW field. Website: http://www.cti.gov.br/web2touch2013 WS7: EC-TEL meets ECSCW - Workshop on Collaborative Technologies for Working and Learning Monica Divitini, Tobias Ley, Stefanie Lindstaedt, Viktoria Pammer, Michael Prilla This workshop explores the potential of collaborative technologies that are embedded in workplaces and practices, and which contribute to and help to scale learning on the individual, group or organisational levels. This includes particularly learning in informal, dynamic and naturalistic settings where learning often is a by-product of work. With this workshop, we intend to bring together the European communities of technology-enhanced learning, which meets at EC-TEL 2013 – The European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, and of computer-supported cooperative work, which meets at ECSCW 2013 – The European Conference on Computer-supported Cooperative Work. Website: http://know-center.tugraz.at/ectel-meets-ecscw-2013/ WS8: Designing with Users for Domestic Environments: Methods - Challenges - Lessons Learned Corinna Ogonowski, Benedikt Ley, David Randall, Mu Mu, Nicholas Race, Mark Rouncefield When developing new ICT systems and applications for domestic environments rich qualitative approaches improve the understanding of the users integral usage of technology in their daily routines and provide methods for long-term user involvement to inform the design process. However, this kind of research has to deal with methodological, technical and organisational challenges for the study design and its underlying cooperation processes. The workshop wishes to identify practical challenges of long-term user involvement, discuss best practice and develop a roadmap for sustainable relationships for design with users. Website: https://socialmedia-community.de/ecscw13_ws/ WS9: Backchannels and live participation tools: Current state and next steps forward Matti Nelimarkka, Anders Mørch, Kai Kuikkaniemi, Marcus Specht, Teemu Leinonen, Participation tools, such as audience response systems, Twitter-walls or custom- tailored software systems, are used to enhance lectures, meetings and conferences. The principal idea behind these tools is to give voice and engage the audience e.g. in information sharing, summarization, and multiple points of views. Previous studies in this domain include case descriptions and studies, where the use of participation tools have been described and analyzed, using various methods and theoretical positions. The aim of this workshop is to gather this diverse research domain, from scholars specialized in learning sciences to human-computer interaction researchers, for one day to examine this multidisciplinary phenomenon.

advice/literature on interviews via Facebook Chat (with minors)
by Erica Ciszek 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi everyone, I was wondering if folks have advice or suggestions on literature pertaining to synchronous interviews via Facebook Chat. For my dissertation research I am looking to interview youth (ages 13-18) online and am hoping to do so through Facebook Chat. I've considered other instant message platforms but Facebook has the most ecological validity for my current research. However, I am obviously concerned with issues of confidentiality and protection of participants. I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice. All the best, Erica Ciszek Doctoral Student Graduate Teaching Fellow School of Journalism and Communication University of Oregon eciszek(a)uoregon.edu www.ericaciszek.com
