CFP: Workshop on The Changing Dynamics of Scientific Collaborations at HICSS (January 4th 2011) http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_44/ Following on from successful workshops at CHI and CSCW we call for 3- to 4-page position papers on the following topics, especially those with a focus on understanding or supporting changing practices in these areas: - Collaborative scientific applications concerning data gathering, analysis, sharing, and visualization - Case studies concerning data gathering, analysis, sharing and visualization - Socio-technical research on scientific collaborations - Research on the scientific software ecosystem - Social networks of scientists - Repurposing social software for science - Participatory design and/or rapid prototyping for scientific software - Distributed data gathering and analysis - Time-critical scientific applications - Studies of generational differences in how science is done - Cross-functional applications and comparisons of a scientific to a non-scientific field - Science and Innovation policy questions on these issues at science funding bodies and beyond. The workshop will bring together - researchers who study scientific practices and collaboration - designers and software developers deploying new types of collaborative systems The goal of the workshop is to produce a white paper to report on the state of the field and to delineate themes and current challenges. Please email workshop papers to James Howison <jhowison@cs.cmu.edu> by October 1st. Best regards, James Howison Cecilia Aragon Charlotte Lee Claudio Silva
