We invite submissions of original work to the ACM 1992 Conference
on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW '92). CSCW is the
melding of communications and computing technology to support
work and other activities in groups varying in task, size,
permanence, and structure. CSCW is interdisciplinary, with
participation from computer science, behavioural, social and
organizational studies, and practical management and engineering
disciplines.

Theory and research in computer and communications systems, on
the  nature of group and organizational work, and on the
development and use of CSCW systems are appropriate for this
conference. The theme of CSCW '92 is Sharing Perspectives.
Contributions that demonstrate links between technological and
behavioural perspectives, between design and use of systems, or
between theory and experience are especially appropriate.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Q Contributions to general theories of coordination
Q Empirical studies of cooperative work practices
Q Experiences with technology for cooperative work
Q Computer or communication-based environments that support   
cooperative work
Q Architectures for computer or communication-based systems   
for cooperative work

work practices.
