************CALL FOR PAPERS***************

Enhancing interaction spaces by social media for the elderly
Workshop at ECSCW 2009, Vienna, Austria September 7th
http://www.uni-siegen.de/locatingmedia/workshops/ecscwageingworkshop

********************************************

The extension of CSCW research towards new domains, such as the home, 
has brought up many ideas to support ageing in place. However, the 
social wellbeing as a pivotal pillar of healthiness besides physical and 
psychical health has not gained much attention yet. This workshop aims 
to address the area of social wellbeing of the elderly by means of 
focussing on social media, such as Social TV and social support online 
communities for elder people in their homes. By bringing together CSCW 
and social media researchers we wish to open up discussions on the 
development of new interaction and coordination spaces for wellbeing and 
social support which enhance the spaces of physical home environments. 
The workshop especially welcomes empirical studies and work which pay 
attention to concepts of spatiality and by this shed light on modes of 
perception, appropriation and use of spaces by elder persons for 
informing domestic media design.

Contributions are welcomed on such topics as:
- Ethnographic studies on elderly people at home.
- Analysis and design of software fostering existing local communities 
and personal networks.
- Analysis and design of online social support systems.
- Design of software contributing to formulate virtual generational 
communities.
- Design of (haptic) input/output devices in the context of social 
medial for the elderly.
- Usage studies of home-based social media applications by elderly people.
