ICIC 2010 (previously IWIC): Call for Papers
ACM International Conference on Intercultural
Collaboration (previously International Workshop
on Intercultural Collaboration)
August 19-20 2010, Copenhagen, Denmark
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers and Other Submissions
This conference explores the nature of
intercultural collaboration and ways to improve
intercultural collaboration processes and
outcomes. It is a continuation of the former
International Workshop on Intercultural
Collaboration (IWIC) series, with this being the
third conference.
The conference incorporates both socio-cultural
and socio-technical perspectives, with the
objective of creating multidisciplinary dialogue
and progress in this important field. Topics
include collaboration support (such as natural
language processing, Web, and Internet
technologies), social scientific analyses of
intercultural interaction, and case studies that
increase mutual understanding and learning in our
multicultural world. Submissions will be
considered for archival papers, to be published
in the ACM Digital Library, and non-archival
panels, demonstrations, and posters. Examples of
relevant topics include but are not limited to:
* Conceptual frameworks, methods, and measures
to study intercultural collaboration and/or
learning
* Field studies of intercultural collaboration
in global organizations and/or in local
communities
* Intercultural issues in offshore / global businesses
* Laboratory studies of intercultural collaboration
* Cultural differences in collaboration styles and/or technology use
* Case studies of intercultural collaboration
* Computer supported intercultural collaboration
* Internet, web, ubiquitous, and/or ambient
technologies for intercultural collaboration and
learning
* E-learning in multicultural environments
* Frameworks for measurement of properties of intercultural communication
* The role of language, language proficiency,
and language resources in intercultural
collaboration
* Multilingual communication and communication technologies
* Interoperability of language resources
* Usability of technologies, including language
resources, for intercultural collaboration
The conference will feature several prominent
invited speakers (to be announced).
Papers
Full papers are solicited on any aspect of
intercultural collaboration. Papers can describe
studies of intercultural communication and
collaboration or present new technologies to
assess and support intercultural interaction.
All papers are expected to be suitable for a
multidisciplinary audience and relevant to issues
of intercultural collaboration.
Full papers will be published in the ACM Digital
Library
(<http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm%29>http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm).
These papers should be no longer than ten
two-columned pages. Papers should be formatted
according to the ACM SIGCHI template and
submitted in PDF format. Please see the SIGCHI
author instruction page
(<http://sigchi.org/chipubform/%29>http://sigchi.org/chipubform/)
for more information and downloadable templates.
Papers should be submitted through the Precision
Conference System
(<http://www.precisionconference.com/%7Eicic>www.precisionconference.com/~icic).
Authors will need to create a free account and
then upload a pdf version of their anonymized
paper to the site.
All full papers will be evaluated using a
double-blind review process. Authors should omit
their names and affiliations from the title area
of the paper and conceal references to their own
prior work by referring to it in the third person
(e.g., authors should say "In an earlier study,
Jones and Smith found ." instead of "In an
earlier study, we found ."). Papers that have not
been appropriately anonymized will be returned
without review.
Panels, Demonstrations and Late-Breaking Papers
ICIC 2010 will also feature three categories of
non-archived submissions: panels, demonstrations
and late-breaking papers.
Panels, demonstrations and late-breaking papers
will not be blind reviewed. Authors should
include their complete names and contact
information at the top of their submitted PDF
file.
Panels: ICIC 2010 will feature a solicited panel
and an invited panel. Individuals may submit
proposals for the solicited panel. A panel
consists of three or four talks on a related
theme in intercultural collaboration. Panel
submissions will not be archival, so panelists
may discuss previously published work.
Submissions should provide each panelist's
background and contact information, as well as a
brief statement of his or her position on the
panel theme. Submissions should be no longer
than 3 pages in length using the ACM template
(see above).
Panels should be submitted by email to
icic2010-panels [at]
<http://khn.nict.go.jp>khn.nict.go.jp.
Demonstrations: Individuals may submit proposals
to present demonstrations of new technologies for
intercultural collaboration. Demonstration
proposals should clearly describe the motivation
for the tool and how it will be demonstrated at
the workshop. Demonstration descriptions will
not be archival; therefore, demonstrations can
include both previously published work and work
that is not yet ready for publication.
Submissions should be no longer than 3 pages in
length using the ACM template (see above).
Demonstrations should be submitted by email to
icic2010-demos [at]
<http://khn.nict.go.jp>khn.nict.go.jp.
Late-Breaking Papers (Work in Progress):
Individuals may submit late-breaking papers to
present as posters during the workshop.
Late-breaking papers will be published in the ACM
Digital Library. Late-breaking papers should be
no longer than 4 two columned pages in length,
formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI template,
and submitted in PDF format. Please see the
SIGCHI author instruction page
(<http://sigchi.org/chipubform/>http://sigchi.org/chipubform/
) for more information and downloadable templates.
Late-breaking papers should be submitted to
icic2010-posters [at]
<http://khn.nict.go.jp>khn.nict.go.jp.
Doctoral Workshop: Graduate students interested
in discussing their research with fellow students
and distinguished faculty can apply to
participate in the ICIC 2010 Doctoral Workshop,
to be held on August 18th, 2010 (the day before
the main conference begins). Applications will
be due April 15, 2010. For submission details

intercultural communication and collaboration.
