COOP'10 is the 9th edition of this International Conference, which is
the second European
conference in the field of CSCW after ECSCW. It will take place in
Aix-en-Provence, France.
The conference aims at bringing together researchers who contribute to
the analysis and design
of cooperative systems and their integration in organizational
community, public and other
settings, and their implications for policy and decision-making.

The COOP conferences suggest that cooperative systems design requires
deep understanding of
collective activities, involving both artifacts and social practices.
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.

Theoretical contributions, empirical studies reports, software
development experiences,
innovative concepts are welcome on such topics as:
- Analysis of collective practices or collaborative work
- Conceptual frameworks for understanding cooperative work or collective
practices
- Guidelines for designing cooperative systems
- The influence of technologies (mobile Computing, ubiquitous
computing…) on cooperation
- Expertise sharing and learning in cooperative work
- Communities and new forms of organization
- Innovative technological solutions and user interfaces
- Methods for participatory design of cooperative systems
- Applications for, and studies of, social networking (including studies
of the use of Wikis, Blogs etc).
- Reports of usage experiences

COOP conferences have always been known as an excellent forum for both
networking and learning.

Categories:
Long papers will be published in proceedings and short papers will be

The Proceedings will be published by Springer, and will be indexed in
