> Call for Papers (CFP)

>

> This conference explores the nature of intercultural collaboration and ways

> to improve intercultural collaboration processes and outcomes, especially

> improvements enabled or facilitated by technology. The Conference

> emphasizes linkages and connections between cultures (not comparative or

> cross-cultural analysis). "Culture" is broadly construed to include

> national cultures but also subcultures based on gender, religion, political

> action, and so on.

> ICIC 2012 is a continuation of the former International Workshop on

> Intercultural Collaboration (IWIC) series, with this being the fourth

> conference.

>

> In practice, information and communication technologies have enabled people

> across cultures to interact with each other personally and through mass

> media, in ways thought impossible only a few decades ago. Such uses of

> technology have increased the pace of intercultural exposure, but not

> necessarily intercultural collaboration. Research about intercultural

> collaboration has evolved in several different disciplines. The divergent

> disciplinary studies have helped us understand some aspects of this

> interaction, but to match the pace of change in the environment we need

> to bring these fields together and create more synergistic understanding

> and application. This conference integrates the socio-cultural and

> socio-technical perspectives, with the objective of creating

> multidisciplinary dialogue and progress in this important field.

>

> General topics include collaboration support (such as natural language

> processing, Web, and Internet technologies), social scientific analyses

> of intercultural interaction in situations in which technology plays a role,

> and case studies that increase mutual understanding and learning in our

> technologically-supported multicultural world. Submissions are not

> required to be multidisciplinary themselves, but they should be able to

> contribute to a multidisciplinary dialogue. During the conference, papers

> will be grouped and discussions will be facilitated in a way that encourages

> this dialogue.

> It is strongly recommended that submissions include a paragraph on how the

> paper's focus is related to or can benefit from the perspective of other

> disciplines related to technology-enabled or -facilitated intercultural

> collaboration.

>

> Examples of relevant topics include but are not limited to: o Conceptual

> frameworks, methods, and measures to study intercultural collaboration

> and/or learning, especially which include some role for information or

> communications technology o Field studies of intercultural collaboration

> in global organizations and/or in local communities o Intercultural issues

> in offshore / global businesses o Laboratory studies of intercultural

> collaboration and technology use o Cultural differences in collaboration

> styles and technology use o Case studies of intercultural collaboration

> enabled or facilitated by technology o Computer supported intercultural

> collaboration o Internet, web, ubiquitous, and/or ambient technologies for

> intercultural collaboration and learning o The role of language, language

> proficiency, and language resources in intercultural collaboration,

> especially information and communications technology implications o

> Multilingual communication and communication technologies o

> Interoperability of language resources o Usability of technologies,

> including language resources, for intercultural collaboration o Issues of

> collaboration in development in multicultural environments o Issues of

> collaboration in e-governance in multicultural environments o Issues of

> collaboration in e-learning in multicultural environments o Issues of

> collaboration in digital gaming and entertainment in multicultural

> environments o Issues of collaboration in healthcare in multicultural

> environments

>

> Submissions will be considered for archival papers, to be published in

> the ACM Digital Library, and for non-archival papers, panels,

> demonstrations, and posters. Paper authors can choose non-archival

> publication.

>

> Papers

>

>

> Full papers are solicited on intercultural collaboration in contexts

> enabled or facilitated by technology. Papers can describe studies of

> intercultural communication and collaboration or present new technologies

> to assess and support intercultural interaction. Papers should be

> suitable for a multidisciplinary audience and relevant to issues of

> intercultural collaboration.

>

> All full papers will be evaluated using a double-blind review process.

> Authors should omit their names and affiliations from the title area of

> the paper and conceal references to their own prior work by referring to

> it in the third person (e.g., authors should say "In an earlier study,

> Jones and Smith found..." instead of "In an earlier study, we found...").

> Papers that have not been appropriately anonymized will be returned without

> review.

>

> Papers should be submitted through the Precision Conference System

> (www.precisionconference.com/~icic). Authors will need to create a free

> account and then upload a pdf version of their anonymized paper to the site.

>

> Accepted full paper authors have the option of having their paper included

> in the ACM digital library or not. If the authors choose not to have their

> full paper included, then only the abstract will be included in the ACM

> Digital Library. Full papers to be published in the ACM Digital Library

> (http://portal.acm.org/) should be no longer than ten two-columned pages.

> Papers should be formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI template and

> submitted in PDF format. Please see the SIGCHI author instruction page

> (http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform) for more information and

> downloadable templates.

>

>

> Panels, Demonstrations and Late-Breaking Papers

>

>

> Panels, demonstrations and late-breaking papers will not be blind reviewed.

> Authors should include their complete names and contact information at the

> top of their submitted PDF file.

>

> Panels: ICIC 2012 will feature a solicited panel and an invited panel.

> Individuals may submit proposals for the solicited panel. A panel

> consists of three or four talks on theme related to the conference. Panel

> submissions will not be archival, so panelists may discuss previously

> published work. Submissions should provide each panelist's background

> and contact information, as well as a brief statement of his or her position

> on the panel theme. Submissions should be no longer than 3 pages in length

> using the ACM template (see above).

>

> Panels should be submitted by email to icic2012-panelskhn.nict.go.jp

>

> Demonstrations: Individuals may submit proposals to present demonstrations

> of new technologies for intercultural collaboration. Demonstration

> proposals should clearly describe the motivation for the tool and how it

> will be demonstrated at the workshop. Demonstration descriptions will

> not be archival; therefore, demonstrations can include both previously

> published work and work that is not yet ready for publication. Submissions

> should be no longer than 3 pages in length using the ACM template (see above).

>

> Demonstrations should be submitted by email to

> icic2012-demoskhn.nict.go.jp

>

>

> Late-Breaking Papers (Work in Progress): Individuals may submit

> late-breaking papers to present as posters during the workshop.

> Late-breaking papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library, if the

> author(s) wish(es). Late-breaking papers should be no longer than 4

> two-columned pages in length, formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI template,

> and submitted in PDF format. Please see the SIGCHI author instruction page

> (http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform ) for more information and

> downloadable templates.

>

> Late-Breaking Papers should be submitted through the Precision Conference

> System (www.precisionconference.com/~icic). Authors will need to create

> a free account and then upload a pdf version of their paper to the site.

>

> Submitted late-breaking papers, panels, and demonstrations will be reviewed

> by a panel of distinguished researchers in the area of intercultural

> communication and collaboration.
