CALL FOR PAPERS

THIRD INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON GROUPWARE

CRIWG'97

1 - 3 October 1997, San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid, Spain

Sponsored by CYTED-RITOS Research Network

WORKSHOP FOCUS

The Third International Workshop on Groupware follows on the success of two previous CRWIG workshops held in Lisboa, Portugal (1995) and Puerto Varas, Chile (1996). 

The CRIWG workshops have been motivated by recent advances in computer-supported cooperative work, and by the need for CSCW to meet the challenges of new application areas. This workshop aims to provide a forum for CSCW academic researchers and professionals to exchange experiences and to engage in discussions of the research issues in designing, building, and using CSCW applications. 

Researchers can report these experiences to CRIWG through: technical papers, project reports and prototype demonstrations. All topics related to the CSCW area, including those on social aspects of groupware, are welcome. 

Given the specialized nature of the workshop, and to allow for a rich interaction among participants, participation will be limited to 35 people, and will be restricted to those making presentations or by special invitations.
