****** Introduction ************
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.

Workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and explore emerging areas of research on designing cooperative systems with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners. Workshops may focus on any aspect of theory or practice, established concerns or new ideas in the field of the design of cooperative systems. The goal of a workshop is to share understandings and experiences, to foster research communities, to learn from each other and to envision future directions. COOP conferences are clearly discussion oriented and the workshops shall share this characteristic.

Workshops run for a half or one full day and will take place the day before the conference opening. So workshops will be open to its participants and eventually to conference participants who will pay workshops registration fees, as on option.
