Submissions: https://precisionconference.com/~group/

In 2007 GROUP will introduce a new submission category: GROUP Notes are intended to increase the diversity of the technical program by encouraging new types of submissions. Notes aim to bring research into the GROUP and CSCW community that is relevant and original, but that might not fit well within the traditional long papers program.

Like long papers, Notes should present original, unpublished research on technological mediation of activities affecting groups of people. However, Notes are designed to be more succinct and focused than long papers. With this new category we further want to encourage submissions from industry to report on recent developments or current research and development issue that industry wants to discuss with the academic community. Examples of potential topics are:

• A new implementation approach that addresses a significant technical issue in collaboration systems.
• Current research and development issues from an industrial perspective that can stimulate the discussion between academics and industry.
• The design of a new interaction technique that supports groups.
• A new methodology for studying collaborative systems that the authors believe the community should consider and discuss.
• A follow-up paper based on a previously published paper.
• Notes are not expected to include an extensive discussion of related work. However, Notes should be situated with respect to closely related work.

Notes should be no longer than 4 pages, including the abstract, all figures and references, and should be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Template (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). Note that this template uses the new ACM proceedings format, which is not the same as the old SIGCHI format. Please be sure to download and use the new template. Papers should include an abstract of no more than 100 words. Papers will be blind reviewed. All authors' names and affiliations should be blanked out on the copy that is submitted for review. Also make sure that any other identifying information is blanked out, such as references that can identify authors.

GROUP 2007 Notes must be submitted online at the GROUP 2007 conference site:

https://precisionconference.com/~group/

You will need to register at the site if you do not already have an account. After logging on, follow the "new submissions" link to make your submission.

Paper submissions must be received by May 28, 2007 at 24.00 PST.

Submissions received after this date will not be considered. All submissions will be acknowledged by email.

Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during the review process. Submissions should contain no information or materials that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication, and should cite no publications that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication.

For questions on paper submissions, please contact the notes co-chairs at: [email protected]
