CSCW 2008 Conference

I was co-chair for the CSCW 2008 conference. While the conference is now over, you can see the website for the conference program and the CSCW 2008 conference proceedings are available in the ACM Digital Library.

Workshop Organizing

The Designing for Families workshop was a success at CSCW 2008. There were some great discussions and some resolve for a special issue or some other approach to publish the results of the workshop.

The IT@Home: Unraveling Complexities of Networked Devices in the Home was a success at CHI 2006. The workshop considered a number of interesting issues in everyday home technology. I co-organized this workshop with Bill Schilit and Sara Bly.

The CSCW'04 Workshop on Social Networks with Danyel Fisher and Shelly Farnham is a follow up to the successful ECSCW'03 Social Network Workshop with Danyel Fisher.
