*** CollabTech 2019 Call for Papers ***
The 25th International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Social Computing
Kyoto, Japan - September 4-6, 2019
Submission Deadline: April 15, 2019
http://www.collabtech.org/
====================================================================
We invite you to participate in the 25th International Conference on 
Collaboration Technologies
and Social Computing (CollabTech 2019).

The conference is a major forum for both academics and practitioners to exchange 
their experiences related to the development and use of collaboration 
technology, and it has a strong focus on technology design and development. Most 
published papers propose innovative technical + human + organizational 
approaches to expand collaboration support, often backed up by theory brought 
from various disciplines including computer science, management science, design 
science, cognitive science, and social science. However, the conference also 
seeks papers with theory, models, design principles, methodologies, and case 
studies that contribute to better understand the complex interrelations between 
collaboration and technology. Considering the heterogeneity of research in 
collaboration and technology, researchers may address the validation of their 
work through multiple approaches including laboratory experiments, fieldwork, 
analytic evaluations, case studies, prototyping, and empirical tests.

This year, the conference is the first merger of the 2 major conferences CRIWG 
and CollabTech which have been jointly held for the past few years, with slight 
renewal of its name to represent expanding scope of the field. It is held in the 
birthplace of CollabTech, Japan!
