FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
CRIWG 2006
12th International Workshop on Groupware
September 16-21, 2006
Medina del Campo, Spain
- Submission deadline: April 24, 2006 - http://www.criwg.org
==================================================
The CRIWG 2006 workshop follows the success of the previous international
CRIWG events held in Brasil (Porto de Galinhas) in 2005, Costa Rica (San
Carlos) in 2004, France (Autrans) in 2003, Chile (La Serena) in
2002,Germany (Darmstadt) in 2001, Portugal (Madeira Island) in 2000,
Mexico(Cancun) in 1999, Brazil (Buzios) in 1998, Spain (El Escorial) in
1997,Chile (Puerto Varas) in 1996, and Portugal (Lisbon) in 1995. This
event is organized in cooperation with the University of Valladolid, Spain.
The CRIWG workshops have been motivated by advances in Computer Supported
Cooperative Work, and by the need for CSCW to meet the challenges of new
application areas. This workshop aims at providing a forum for academic
researchers and professionals to exchange their experiences and their ideas
about problems and solutions related to the design, development and use of
groupware applications. Researchers can report their ideas, models, designs
and experiences to CRIWG submitting full paper contributions to present
achieved or mature works, and shorter papers to report work in progress.
PhD students are invited to present their research in the doctoral
colloquium.
All topics related to Groupware are welcome, including:
- Web / Internet cooperative applications / environments
- Middleware for CSCW applications
- Distribution / replication support of shared information
- Groupware development frameworks and toolkits
- Collaborative workspaces, tailoring
- Languages and tools supporting collaboration
- Monitoring and analysis of group interactions
- Workflow management and coordination
- Administration support for distributed communities
- Work modelling in CSCW
- Organizational computing
- Multi-user interfaces, Group Awareness
- Social aspects of group work
- Nomadic and/or mobile collaborative work
- Virtual groups and virtual worlds
- Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL)
- Group decision and negotiation support (GDSS), Meetingware
- Hypermedia systems, Digital libraries
- Adaptive collaborative environments
- Collaborative applications and case studies
It is expected that the workshop will promote a very intensive interaction
among those attending it, giving ample time to discuss papers.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The CRIWG 2006 full and work in progress papers will be published by
Springer-Verlag as part of their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
(http://www.springeronline.com/lncs). Additionally, it is highly probable
that a selected set of papers will be published in special issues of
well-known journals, as in pervious editions of CRIWG.
Electronic paper submissions are due on April 24, 2006 in two categories:
full technical papers and work in progress papers. Full papers have a
length of up to 16 pages while work in progress papers should have a
maximum length of 8 pages, both of them following the Springer LNCS format.
Full and work in progress paper have to be submitted using a Web-site to be
announced soon.
We will use a double-blind reviewing process. Please, do not include the
author's name and affiliation or any indication, which may disclose the
paper's authorship, in the submitted paper itself.
As a result of the reviewing process, the Program Committee may suggest
changes in the format and/or the contents of the paper, including the
category of the paper. In this case, a paper will be conditionally
accepted. The PC Chairs will decide on the final acceptance or rejection,
based on the analysis of the revised paper. The format for the final
version will be the Springer LNCS format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), which includes e.g.
templates for MS Word and Latex.
Paper submissions for the doctoral colloquium are due on August 14, 2006.
For submission guidelines concerning the doctoral colloquium please refer
to the CRIWG 2006 web site (http://www.criwg.org).
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
To be announced
CONFERENCE VENUE
The conference will take place in the historical castle of Medina del
Campo, known as Castillo de la Mota. This 13th century building, reformed
in the 15th century and restored in 1942 has an important historical role,
being used by the Catholic kings as their residence, and later as an
important prison of the many enemies of Spanish kings, like Cesar Borgia
(the inspirer of Maquiavelo's Prince) or Hernando Pizarro (with his brother
Francisco, conquerors of Peru). The castle is placed in a prominent hill
upon which castellan flat landscape can be overviewed.
The nearby village of Medina del Campo has always been renowned by its
ferias generales, markets for products brought from all Europe. Nowadays,
this market survives devoted for agricultural and farming products of the
region, and can be enjoyed by visitors every Sunday.
One of the regions most remarkable products, wine, can be fully enjoyed in
Medina del Campo. It is the center of one of the origin denominations of
wine in Spain ("vino de la Tierra de Medina"), but several others are very
close (remarkably, "Rueda" and "Ribera de Duero" among others). Many
vineyards and cellars are open to visitors, having also restaurants were
wine can be tasted along with the excellent "lechazo" (lamb) cooked in
traditional wood ovens, among several other regional dishes.
