        16th CRIWG Conference on Collaboration and Technology
           September 20-23, Maastricht, the Netherlands

                         APRIL 4, 2010

========================================================================

The CRIWG Conference on Collaboration and Technology seeks scientific papers
that inform the design, development, deployment, and use of collaboration
technology (groupware) and the work practices they support. Founded in 1995,
CRIWG has become a significant forum for researchers and professionals to
exchange ideas and experiences about problems and solutions related to
collaboration technology.

Most challenges in the collaboration technology field require a
multidisciplinary, multi-methodological approach. CRIWG seeks papers on
groupware from a wide variety of academic perspectives and epistemologies,
ranging from collaborative and exploratory research, to theory building and
testing, applied research, design science, engineering, and innovative
evaluation methods. Researchers can report their ideas, theories, models,
designs and experimental results to CRIWG either by submitting full paper
contributions, in case of mature works, and shorter papers reporting
innovative work in progress. As in previous years, the authors of the best
papers will be invited to submit extended versions to selected journals. PhD
students are invited to present their research in the doctoral colloquium.

The CRIWG conference is supported by the Collaboration Research
International Working Group, www.criwg.org <file://www.criwg.org> , an open
community of researchers. Traditionally, CRIWG is organized in remote places
alternating between the Americas and Europe, with a small number of
presentations, fostering critical discussion, team building and
collaboration. The location selected for the CRIWG 2010 conference is
Maastricht, the Netherlands. Delft University of Technology will organize
the conference.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
=====================
The CRIWG 2010 full and work in progress papers will be published by
Springer-Verlag as part of their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Extended and reviewed best papers will be published in special issues of
international journals.

Electronic paper submissions are accepted in two categories: full papers and
work in progress papers. Full papers have a length of up to 16 pages based
on mature and finished research while work in progress papers should have a
maximum length of 8 pages, both of them following the Springer LNCS format.
Electronic submission site will be soon available in this Web site:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=criwg2010. Further news will be
published in this Web site: http://criwg2010.tudelft.nl

We will use a double-blind reviewing process. Please, do not include the
author's name and affiliation in the submitted paper itself. As a result of
the reviewing process, the Program Committee may suggest changes in the
format and/or the contents of the paper, including the category of the
paper. In this case, a paper will be conditionally accepted. The PC Chairs
will decide on the final acceptance or rejection, based on the analysis of
the revised paper. The format for the final version will be the Springer
LNCS format, which includes e.g. templates for MS Word and Latex.

For submission guidelines concerning the doctoral colloquium please refer to
