Call for Papers
CRIWG 2013 - 19th International Conference on Collaboration and Technology
30 October - 1 November 2013,
Wellington, New Zealand
INTRODUCTION
We invite you to participate in the 19th International Conference on Collaboration and Technology.
The Conference is a major forum for academic researchers to exchange their experiences related
to the development and use of collaboration technology. The Conference adopts the double-blind
peer review process: only papers submitted by anonymous authors, anonymously reviewed by
three members of the Program Committee, and meta-reviewed by the Program Chairs are
accepted for publication.
The Conference has a strong focus on technology design and development. Most published
papers propose innovative technical+human+organisational approaches to expand collaboration
support, often backed up by theory brought from various disciplines including computer science,
management science, design science, cognitive sciences and social sciences. 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.
Researchers can either submit full paper contributions, in case of mature works, or shorter papers
reporting innovative work in progress with promising preliminary results. In both cases, each
accepted paper must be orally presented during the Conference. The papers that do not have at
least one registered author are dropped from the Conference and the proceedings.
The Conference proceedings will be published by Springer as a volume in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series. As in previous years, the authors of the best papers are invited to
submit extended versions to special issues of selected journals. The Conference has an very good
track record in this area: 18.7% of all Conference papers in the 2000-2008 period have been
published in prestigious journals such as the Int. J. of Cooperative Information Systems, Int. J. of
Human-Computer Studies, Group Decision and Negotiation, Multimedia Tools and Applications,
and CSCW J. At least two special issues of journals are announced each year either during or after
the Conference.
The Conference is supported by the Collaborative Research International Working group on
Groupware (CRIWG), a totally open and ad-hoc community of researchers. The Conference is
totally non-profit.
In 2013, the Conference will take place in Wellington, New Zealand, with Victoria University of
Wellington, School Information Management as local organiser.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Accepted papers will be published by Springer as part of their Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) series (http://www.springer.com/series/558).
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 while work in progress papers have a
maximum length of 8 pages, both of them following the Springer LNCS format
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0). Both full and
work in progress papers appear in the proceedings.
We use a double-blind reviewing process. Please, do not include the author?s name and affiliation
or any other type of information that may disclose the authors 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 Program Committee Chairs will decide on the final acceptance or
rejection based on a second analysis of the revised paper.
Springer LNCS templates are available and should be used for submitted and camera ready papers
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).
The papers should be submitted using the EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?
conf=criwg2013) system until the submission deadline.
