CSCW Workshop:The Future of Collaborative Software Development
by Jim Herbsleb 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

CSCW Workshop:The Future of Collaborative Software Development February 12, 2012 Full Details: http://research.microsoft.com/futurecsd Call for Participation This workshop brings together researchers who are interested in the evolution of software development organizations and the role of collaboration technology, such as crowdsourcing, social media, software hosting, and application marketplace services. This CSCW 2012 workshop will include brief presentations, moderated discussions, a poster session, and a forecasting exercise to inspire participants to come up with their next big research idea. The major themes of the workshop are 1. How can empirical research methods be adapted to study and evaluate radically decentralized software organizations, where communication occurs on public social media channels and no centralized software repositories are used? 2. What are the organizational aspects of decentralized software teams, and how do they differ from more traditional enterprise or open source teams (for example, participants’ roles, work practices, and performance incentives)? How do these teams form, establish processes, operate, and reflect on their work? 3. How do the organizational, functional, technical, and social aspects of decentralized software teams vary over the course of their projects and overall collaboration? 4. How do software development practices co-evolve with collaboration technologies? 5. Why are particular application domains (for example, socially-relevant projects, health, gaming, energy efficiency, citizen science, education) attracting the focus of decentralized software teams, and how do the teams’ development methodologies and tools enable them to successfully meet their goals? We invite interested participants to submit a 2 to 3 page position paper. The submission deadline is November 22. Please see the workshop website http://research.microsoft.com/futurecsd for all the details. Workshop Organizers: Andrew Begel, Microsoft Research, Redmond James D.

Hi all, As we start winding up things for IR12, I'm looking to help occupyseattle organizers connect with area researchers to hold a "Digital Media and Protest 101" teach-in next week? The goal: 60-90 minute teach-in the week of 17 October with a focus on internal and external communication strategies for the area #Occupy effort. There are several local community groups (a church and local union in particular) who are also interested in attending a "Digital Media and Protest 101" teach-in. If you are interested in participating in the teach-in or would like to contribute resources (syllabi, reading lists, student interns, gear) to it, will you email me directly (qcentral(a)indiana.edu) or to the list so that I can get a show of hands from folks interested in helping out. Many thanks and good to see/meet many of you at IR12. Best, Mary _______________________ On sabbatical until January 9, 2012 Mary L.

Take, M-Pesa, the popular mobile money transfer system developed in Kenya. This example demonstrates how innovative applications emerge from users in resource-constrained settings. The goals of our workshop are twofold: 1) to uncover more of these examples and 2) to discuss how they can influence design in developed countries. We welcome submissions that reveal innovative ICT practices occurring among marginalized populations, including those in developing countries, the urban homeless, rural Americans, migrant communities, and so forth. In addition to position papers, we encourage photo- or video-essays that highlight innovative uses of ICT among marginalized users. Practitioners, designers, and other who do not typically present their work at academic conferences are highly encouraged to submit to the workshop. Please contact Susan Wyche as spwyche(a)gmail.com if you have questions.

CSCW Workshop CFP: Reconciling Privacy with Social Media
by Michael Zimmer 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

CSCW Workshop: Reconciling Privacy with Social Media February 12, 2012 Full Details: http://phitlab.host22.com/cscw2012privacyworkshop.html Call for Participation Much research on privacy in social media has focused on limiting personal information disclosure, increasing control, and perpetuating social withdrawal. Therefore, privacy goals are often characterized as diametrically opposed to goals of sharing and connecting via social media. However, privacy can also be characterized as a broader process where individuals and groups coordinate social interaction with others. In this broader conceptualization, privacy behavior moves beyond binary decisions to withhold or disclose and becomes an interactional process that involves the cooperation of others in the relationship. The goal of this workshop is to explore privacy in broader contexts and to understand its relationship to the benefits of social media and the support of online cooperative relationships. The workshop will focus on two main themes: Focusing on the benefits and outcomes of interactional privacy behaviors in social media environments, and emphasizing design and evaluation solutions for bringing such benefits to fruition. We invite potential workshop participants to submit 2-4 page position papers that describe research related to the workshop themes. The deadline for submission is November 25. Please see the workshop website athttp://phitlab.host22.com/cscw2012privacyworkshop.html for more information. Workshop Co-Organizers: Heather Richter Lipford, University of North Carolina at Charlotte Pamela Wisniewski, University of North Carolina at Charlotte Cliff Lampe, University of Michigan Lorraine Kisselburgh, Purdue University Kelly Caine, Indiana University Bloomington Program Committee: Coye Cheshire, University of California Berkeley Catherine Dwyer, Pace University Woodrow Hartzog, Samford University Adam Joinson, University of Bath Jen King, University of California Berkeley Airi Lampinen, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT & University of Helsinki Deirdre Mulligan, University of California Berkeley Fred Stutzman, Carnegie Mellon University Janice Tsai, Microsoft Michael Zimmer, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
