The Persistent Conversation minitrack at HICSS is back. We invite you to submit your work to the upcoming 50^th anniversary HICSS. The CFP is here: [1]http://www.hicss.org/#!persistent-conversation/c236g ABOUT THE MINITRACK: A significant consequence of communication technologies is that conversations are no longer ephemeral and volatile. Most conversations mediated by technology leave a persistent record and become persistent conversations. This persistence transforms the essence of conversation, and it is the focus of extensive academic and applied research. The persistent conversation minitrack is the home of this research at HICSS. The minitrack was launched in 1999 by Susan Herring and Tom Erickson, and was led by them until 2010. For details of the rich history of this minitrack and the accepted papers see Tom Erickson's page at: [2]http://tomeri.org/HICSS_PC_History.html The submission deadline is June 15.
