<br>Workshop "Hybrid Collaboration - Moving Beyond Purely Co-Located or Remote
<br>Collaboration" @ ECSCW 2019, Salzburg, Austria
<br>More info: https://ecscw2019workshop.projekte.fh-hagenberg.at
<br>
<br>*) Important Dates
<br>Deadline for submission of position papers: April 24, 2019 (EXTENDED).
<br>Notification of acceptance: May 2, 2019.
<br>Date of Workshop: June 8, 2019.
<br>
<br>*) Introduction
<br>
<br>New collaborative practices and technologies increasingly blur the
<br>traditional boundaries between co-located and remote collaboration. Using
<br>technologies such as connected interactive whiteboards and mobile devices,
<br>team meetings are increasingly partially distributed with co-located and
<br>remote members. Collaboration tools such as Slack also invite users to
<br>transcend the dichotomy of synchronous and asynchronous team work.
<br>In a first attempt to frame this new kind of collaborative practices,
<br>Neumayr et al. (2018) have formulated their framework of “Hybrid
<br>Collaboration” to enable the description and analysis of current hybrid
<br>collaboration practices. Still, there is a considerable knowledge gap in
<br>the field of hybrid collaboration although it is daily common practice.
<br>This one-day workshop aims at bringing together researchers and
<br>practitioners working on empirical research methodologies and currently
<br>existing practical use cases of hybrid collaboration while ultimately
<br>striving for a high level of usability and UX in the tools we develop in
<br>the realm of either co-located or remote collaboration settings.
<br>
<br>*) Workshop Topics
<br>
<br>The topics dealt with in this workshop include but are not limited to:
<br>
<br>- What are the opportunities and challenges of researching hybrid
<br>collaboration today?
<br>- How can collaborative practices in hybrid meetings/events be studied in
<br>naturalistic environments?
<br>- How can we prototype hybrid collaboration and conduct controlled
<br>experiments?
<br>- Which established, alternative, or entirely novel research methods can
<br>help to tackle those challenges?
<br>- How can we reach a shared conceptualization and understanding of hybrid
<br>collaboration, meetings and events? These concepts are often expressed
<br>through other similar terminologies such as remote, online, hybrid, or
<br>virtual collaboration, meetings, and events in partially distributed teams,
<br>virtual teams, etc.
<br>
<br>*) Call for Participation
<br>
<br>Please consider contributing to this workshop:
<br>Participants will be selected based on their position paper submissions (up
<br>to 4 pages in length using the recent ACM SIGCHI Extended Abstracts format:
<br>https://sigchi.org/templates/). The submissions will be reviewed by the
<br>workshop organizers and judged by their quality concerning relevance and
<br>potential to stimulate discussion at the workshop.
<br>
<br>Submissions should be sent to thomas.neumayr(at)fh-hagenberg.at and
<br>banu.saatci(at)cc.au.dk in .pdf format on or before April 24, 2019.
<br>
<br>The notification to the workshop participants will be distributed on May 2,
<br>2019.
<br>
<br>Accepted position papers will be distributed among the participants well
<br>before the workshop to allow a familiarization with each others’ topics. In
<br>this process, participants are asked to reflect on the other submissions
<br>and bring questions with them.
