Welcome to the website for the 2012 ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing. CSCW 2012 will be the twenty-fourth CSCW conference and will be held February 11-15 near Seattle, Washington, USA. Seattle offers a vibrant, culturally rich city near forests, mountains, and sea, and with a surprisingly mild climate.

CSCW is a premier venue for presenting research in the design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, and communities. CSCW encompasses both the technical and social challenges encountered when supporting collaboration. The development and application of new technologies continues to enable new ways of working together and coordinating activities. Although work is an area of focus, CSCW embraces research and technologies supporting a wide range of recreational and social activities using a diverse range of devices. The conference brings together top researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are interested in both technical and social aspects of collaboration.

The submission date for Papers and Notes is June 3, 2011. Please mark your calendars, check this website regularly, and start planning early!

Some other venues have later deadlines. The CSCW venues include Workshops, Panels, Interactive Posters, Videos, Demonstrations, CSCW Horizon, and a Doctoral Colloquium. Please explore the Call for Participation to find the best place or places for you to submit your work.

On behalf of the Conference Committee, we invite you to begin planning your submissions and participation for the 2010 conference!
