My apologies for multiple recipients. I've been asked to solicit Posters and Research Demonstrations for the 1999 International Joint Conference on Work Activities Coordination and Collaboration (WACC '99) conference in at the Cathedral Hill Hotel in San Francisco, California, February 22-25, 1999. WACC'99 is unique in that it is jointly sponsored (pending final approval) by four ACM Special Interest Groups: SIGCHI, SIGGROUP, SIGMOD, and SIGSOFT. In addition, the conference is being organized in association with the IEEE Technical Committee on Data Engineering and in cooperation with the International Software Process Association. Participants will be able to broadly disseminate their research results in addition to gaining valuable insight and feedback from other research communities addressing similar concerns. A brief overview is provided below, and complete information about the conference may be found at: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/wacc99/ WACC '99 provides a multi-purpose forum for the presentation, discussion, and demonstration of key ideas in this important area. Twenty-four technical papers will be presented demonstrating novel research results. The keynote address, titled Managing Processes in the Networked Economy, will be given by Thomas W. Malone, MIT Sloan School of Management. Invited speakers, panels, posters, and informal research demonstrations will be included in the conference program. The conference will be complemented by workshops on Cross-Organizational Workflow Management and Coordination and Implementing Tailorability in Groupware and tutorials on Internet Scale Workflow: Standards for Cross-Enterprise Business Processes; CSCW, Groupware and Workflow: Experiences, State of the Art, and Future Trends; and XML: Modeling Data and Metadata. A reception will be held the evening of Tuesday, February 23. Topics of interest include: Architectures Mobility Case studies and experience Modeling and execution Collaborative transactions Organizational structures Consistency and inconsistency Reengineering Coordination models Resource utilization and reuse Exceptions and deviations Scaling to the Internet Human interaction Temporal constraints Interoperablility Tools and methods Metrics and measurement Virtual corporations and communities Call for Posters, and Research Demonstrations WACC '99 invites Poster, and Informal Research Demonstration submissions. Posters and Informal Research Demonstrations provide an excellent opportunity to exhibit and discuss late-breaking results and research prototypes. Display space will be provided for posters in the poster/informal research demonstration room. Only versions of tools or systems (a) developed for non-commercial purposes to explore novel research ideas or (b) which are at least six months from commercial offerings will be accepted as research demonstrations. Booths will be provided in the Poster/Informal Research Demonstration room. No Internet connections, phone lines, or computing or projection equipment will be provided. Poster and demonstration researchers are expected to be available during the reception Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning from 9:00am to 12:00 noon, and during breaks. How to Submit. Prepare a one-page description of the proposed poster or informal research demonstration. Poster and informal research demonstration submissions must describe the research problem addressed and include an outline of how the solution will be presented to its audience. Submissions must be prepared in plain ASCII text and sent electronically to: wacc99@cs.colorado.edu Further, if you are planning on attending WACC'99 and may be interested in seeing the latest work in a particular area or from a particular research group, please forward your suggestions to myself or the submission email address.
