Computer Supported Cooperative Work
Dr. Melanie Barwick, at
SickKids Hospital in Toronto, a Canadian leader in knowledge exchange and translation for children and youth mental health, sent me this very interesting conference link:
Computer Supported Cooperative Work 2006, Banff, AL, Nov 4-8 2006
CSCW 2006, the ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work, is the premier venue for presenting research and development achievements in the design, introduction, and use of technology that affect groups, organizations, communities and societies. Although work is an important area of focus for the conference, technology is increasingly supporting a wide range of recreational and social activities. As more and more people in all regions of the globe are able to interact online we are rapidly moving toward a Computer Supported Collaborative World.
Appropriate topic areas for CSCW 2006 include all contexts in which technology is used to mediate human activities such as communication, coordination, cooperation, competition, entertainment, education, medicine, art, and music. The technology may include: email, instant
messaging, blogs, shared workspaces, teleconferencing, games, co-located systems, robotics, haptics, and much more.I think I will submit something based on my current systematic review work.
