GROUP '03
International Conference on Supporting Group Work
November 9-12, 2003
Sanibel Island, FL USA
PLEASE NOTICE THAT THE SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED
GROUP '03 is interested in topics related to computer-based systems
that have an impact on groups, organizations and social networks. A
strong emphasis of GROUP '03 is the integration of multiple
computer-based tools and technologies. Relevant issues include the
design,
implementation, deployment, evaluation, research methodologies, and
impact of these systems.
GROUP'03 is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's
Special Interest Group on Supporting Group Work (ACM SIG GROUP).

Scope
GROUP '03 attempts to integrate two themes of research: the
organizational and behavioral issues and the modeling and
