Videos

Due date: (for submissions) Friday, May 1, 1998

For more detailed information, see the Guide to Successful Video Submissions in the Author Kit.

Videos are a great way to present work that involves dynamic interaction, ranging from demonstrations of new systems to complex aspects of group communication and work practice. A panel of international reviewers will review videos for their technical content, interest to the CSCW community, communication effectiveness, and production quality. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Demonstrations of innovative research prototypes
  • Demonstrations (but not marketing) of novel aspects of commercial systems
  • Studies of work practice that have implications for CSCW
  • Retrospective collections of significant CSCW fields of work
  • Visions of future technologies
Videos should not have been previously presented in any formal video program. Authors who are submitting papers are also encouraged to consider submitting formal videos that illustrate their work. We also encourage people with innovative or novel ideas for video submissions to contact the program chairs.

Submission requirements:

  • Submit 6 copies each with a cover sheet (see General Submission Requirements) and an abstract of no more than 150 words.
  • Submit ONE videotape for review in any of the following formats: VHS, Super-VHS, 3/4-inch, Hi-8, 8mm, in NTSC or PAL. If the video is accepted, a high quality format will be required for the final version (in decreasing order of preference: Beta SP, 3/4-inch, Hi-8, 8mm, and Super VHS).
  • Videotapes should be 4 - 8 minutes long. Longer videos will be subject to stricter review criteria. Rough videos in progress will be considered, but will (if tentatively accepted) be subject to a second review process after final production.
The video program will be playing continuously at the conference and in the conference hotel, and will be published and sold by the ACM (although copyright will be retained by the authors).

Additional dates:
