Dear CSCW community
We need your help getting the word out about CSCW 2000! CSCW 2000 will be
held December 2-6, 2000 in Philaldephia, PA at the Wyndham Franklin Plaza
Hotel. Please encourage those within your organization and beyond to come
to CSCW 2000 and participate in a leading forum for understanding and
implementing collaborative work systems. We would also appreciate it if
you would pass this on to local mailing lists.
Details for conference and hotel registration can be found at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigchi/cscw2000/reg.html
As a special Halloween offer, Steve Whittaker and I are extending the early
registration deadline until MIDNIGHT on Friday, November 3 (local time of
the registrant). Registrations that are faxed or postmarked by that time
will have early registration rates honored.
CSCW 2000 has a fantastic program lined up, including an opening plenary by
Robert Putnam of Harvard University ("Bowling alone: The collapse and
revival of American community") and a closing plenary by Warren Thornate,
Carleton University ("Got a minute? How technology affects the economy of
attention"). In addition, Ruzena Bajcsy, Assistant Director of the CISE
(Computer and Information Science and Engineering) Directorate of the NSF
will give a special invited talk on "IT2: An information technology
initiative for the twenty-first century -- NSF plans for implementation."
The entire program, including 36 highly rated papers, can be viewed at
