Papers, panel presentations, workshop and tutorial proposals and poster
submissions related to the conference themes are sought. Both empirical and
theoretical research will be presented from international perspectives.

New information technologies are changing every sector of society, and
transforming women's work and women's lives. We are seeing significant
changes from women's traditional work to work based on modern technology;
from communicating within personal communities to virtual communities; from
traditional job gendering to new perspectives on "who does what."

Participants are challenged to identify the ways information technology
constrains and contributes to women's equality; to examine the way women's
professional and personal lives are being transformed in the information
economy; and to plot a course to the future for women and computer
technologies.

THEMES AND TOPICS
1. Setting the course: Taking stock of where we are and where we're going
2. Charting undiscovered terrain: Creating models, tools and theories
3. Navigating the unknown: Sex, time, space and place
4. Taking the helm: Education and pedagogy
For a more detailed description of the conference themes please visit the
WWC 2000 web site http://www.sfu.ca/~wwc2000/.

HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER, OR A PROPOSAL FOR A PANEL, POSTER SESSION, OR TUTORIAL:
Please consult the WWC 2000 web site or write to the conference organizer
for format guidelines. All submissions must be formatted according to these
guidelines. Each submission must have a cover sheet that includes: Title
and Author; Names, affiliation, addresses ( phone, fax, email); Category of
submission ( paper, panel, poster);Name of Primary contact person

PRESENTATION FORMATS
PAPERS: Papers will be judged on quality and relevance to conference
themes. Papers will be reviewed by an international panel of referees. All
papers accepted by the program committee will appear in the conference
proceedings which will be available to delegates. Papers should not exceed
8 pages including abstract, figures and references, printed in 10 point
Times font. A total of  5 copies of the submission are required. To support
the blind review process 4 copies should be submitted with all names and
affiliations of authors blanked out. We also welcome discussion notes or
short critical statements on conference topics.

PANELS: Panels typically focus on controversial or emerging issues and are
designed to bring out the range of viewpoints on the topic through the
medium of informed debate. A panel is not intended to be a series of
presentations followed by questions from the audience. Rather, it is a
place where people with expertise on a topic conduct an interactive
discussion that brings out the many facets of the issues. The goal is to
help the audience broaden their understanding of the issues and perhaps
even modify their views. Panels last 90 minutes and typically include three
to five panelists plus a moderator. A discussant may be used when
appropriate.

TUTORIALS: Proposals for tutorials may address any area related to
conference themes. Tutorials allow participants to learn specific sets of
skills (e.g., how to work with a particular system design technique) or
learn about a particular area in greater depth than other formats allows.
Half day tutorials last approximately 3 hours, and full day tutorials will
last 6 hours not including breaks. Tutorials will take place on June 7,
2000, the day prior to the conference.

POSTERS/ARTIFACTS: Posters and Artifacts allow conference participants to
view projects, techniques and products developed for or in relation to
women, work and computerization. These presentations share ongoing work
that may be communicated in a short talk, interactive poster or interactive
demonstration format. For example, a research project in which preliminary
results have been obtained and the project members seek feedback from their
colleagues in the feminist information technology community, would be a
good candidate for this category of submission. We hope to elicit
presentations of work that is at once timely and still in a state to be
influenced by questions and discussion from WWC 2000 attendees. Submitters
in this category must provide an abstract. The abstracts will be lightly
reviewed and accepted on the basis of quality, interest potential, as well
as the availability of conference space and resources.
