COOP 2012. Call for papersThe COOP conferences suggest that cooperative systems design requires deep understanding of collective activities, involving both artifacts and social practices. COOP 2012 will be the tenth COOP conference and twenty years on from the first conference in 1992 we are asking practitioners to reflect on what have been the successes and the failures, and what are the remaining challenges in our relevant domains. Contributions are solicited from a wide range of domains contributing to the fields of cooperative systems design and evaluation: CSCW, HCI, Information Systems, Knowledge Engineering, Multi-agents, organizational and management sciences, sociology, psychology, anthropology, ergonomics, linguistics, etc. This year we strongly welcome contributions that report on important industrial case studies, that for example show the impacts of employing particular methods, theories or technologies in a business environment, or that look at designing novel technologies for industry. Relatedly, authors may want to highlight particular theoretical, methodological, technical or practicalpoints raised by specific industrial requirements, constraints or opportunities. Additionally, as usual, theoretical contributions, empirical studies reports,software development experiences, and innovative concepts are also welcome onsuch topics as:     Conceptual frameworks for understanding cooperative work or collective    practices    Guidelines for designing cooperative systems    The influence of technologies (intelligent devices, mobile Computing,    ubiquitous computing, etc.) on cooperation    Expertise, knowledge sharing and learning in cooperative work    Communities and new forms of organization    Innovative technological solutions and user interfaces for cooperation    Methods for participatory design of cooperative systems    Applications for, and studies of, social networking (including experiences in    industrial contexts)    Analysis of collective practices or collaborative work.Reports of usage experiences and case studies are welcomeCOOP conferences have always been known as an excellent forum for bothnetworking and learning.CategoriesPaper length: 15 pages maximumPaper template: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0Papers will be published in proceedings edited by Springer, and will be indexedin ACM digital library.
