Workshops

Workshops are designed to offer an informal environment for focused  
group
discussion and learning. They can be in the format of presentation  
followed by
synthesis of contributions and discussion. However, we also encourage  
proposals
that include activities such as extensive hands-on sessions, site  
explorations,
or applied method sessions to advance practical understandings of  
emerging
application areas, concepts, and new methodologies. Each workshop should
generate ideas that give the ECSCW community a new, organized way of  
thinking
about a given topic or suggest promising directions for future research.
Workshops may be half-day or full day sessions.

Workshop proposals should consist of an abstract and a detailed  
proposal. The
abstract should be no more than 150 words. The body of the proposal  
should be
no more than 3000 words, and should include a description of the  
theme(s) of
the workshop, the workshop activities and goals, the duration of the  
workshop
(one or two full days), the background of the organizer(s), the  
maximum number
of participants, and the means of recruiting and selecting  
participants. We
encourage workshop organizers to create web-based resources for their  
workshops
so that advertising, submission and organization can be handled online.
Submissions should be sent through the ECSCW 2013 electronic  
submission system.

Accepted workshops will need to provide a short description of the  
workshop for
publication on the conference web site containing the workshop title,  
names and
affiliations of organizers, 150-word abstract, workshop web site, and  
position
paper submission or other participation requirements.

Accepted workshops may optionally provide a 2-page Workshop Program for
printing in the conference supplemental proceedings. The program  
should contain
the workshop title, 150-word abstract, objectives, participant names and
schedule.


Master Classes

Master classes will offer a small number of participants the  
opportunity to
learn about specific CSCW concepts, methods and techniques from  
recognized
experts. Master classes may be for half-day or full day sessions. Master
classes proposals should be no more than 3000 words, and should  
include a
description of the theme(s) of the master class, the background of the
organizer(s) and the maximum number of participants. Submissions  
should be sent
through the ECSCW 2013 electronic submission system.
