GENRAL INFORMATION

We warmly invite you to participate in ECSCW'97, the Fifth European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work.

The success of ECSCW'97 depends upon you submitting your work for consideration. We encourage submissions from researchers and practitioners in academia, industry, consulting or government on topics related to the theory, practice, design or support for collaborative work. ECSCW is an international conference; we welcome submissions from all countries. Papers, tutorials, workshops, posters, videos and demonstrations of original CSCW work will be presented and debated over the five days of the conference. With the exploding interest in networked computers the conference will be an important forum for the presentation and discussion of the state of the art and future visions for Computer Supported Cooperative Work.

CSCW is a multidisciplinary area surrounding the use of computers to support cooperative work. The community encompasses interests in systems development and design, the theory and practice of CSCW, the installation and use of CSCW systems, the application of novel technologies and the relation between the social and the technical. Submissions from all areas of CSCW are welcome. Possible topics include (but are not limited to):

Development of novel cooperative applications Empirical studies of cooperative work Evaluation techniques for cooperative systems Impact of technologies on individuals, organisations and society Innovative technologies to support cooperative work Integrative reviews of specific aspects of CSCW Methodology and tools for the analysis of cooperative work Technologies of architectures to support cooperative work Theories of coordination and collaboration

The language of the conference is English. All submissions should be in English, in the correct format, including full contact details for the primary contact, and will only be accepted on paper.

Lancaster, Gateway to the English Lakes, is the venue for ECSCW'97. Lancaster is an historic city with magnificent buildings including a medieval castle and Benedictine priory, as well as superb views of the surrounding coast and mountains. With Manchester International Airport just an hour away it also has excellent communications.

Even if you do not plan to submit work to the conference we hope that you will attend. Put the dates on your calendar now! We look forward to welcoming you to Lancaster in September 1997.

QUESTION TIME

At ECSCW'97, instead of a panel, we are intending to have a Question Time session. Any delegate will be able to submit a question to be put to the invited panel. Questions selected will be debated initially by the panel and then thrown open to the audience. Watch the Conference web site for details of how to submit questions nearer the time of the conference. Those submitting questions must be able and willing to ask their questions during the Question Time session.

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS

The smooth running of the Conference will depend on student volunteers. =46ull-time students are invited to apply to act as Student Volunteers. They will receive free registration, optional cheap accommodation, and an end of Conference party in exchange for approximately 20 hours work during the conference. Please apply to Stephen Viller, Student Volunteers Chair, at the Conference Office address above, or email viller@comp.lancs.ac.uk including proof of student status at the time of the conference.

SPONSORSHIP

Sponsorship of ECSCW'97 offers commercial companies who are developers or users of CSCW technology a unique opportunity of contacting key markets and increasing company visibility.

All sponsors will receive acknowledgement in the Conference literature. Depending on the nature of the sponsorship we may be able to offer additional benefits such as the circulation of promotional material to delegates and/or exhibition/ demonstration space. Interested parties are invited to contact Jacqui Forsyth, Organisation Chair, at the Conference Office.
