*Instruction for Poster Presentation
Your posters will be placed on vertical boards measuring 900mm width and 2100mm height (90 x 210 cm), which means that it is best to print out your poster in A0 size and present it in portrait orientation. Pins to put up the posters will be provided at the venue. Note that printing services are not available at the venue.
Tutorials
The tutorials provide an overview of CSCW and its research methods, so that researchers working on related themes or interested in CSCW topics can learn what CSCW research is about. The two tutorials will be provided by the well-established leaders in CSCW who have experiences in giving tutorials in these topics.
Mentoring
The mentoring/consulting session consists of poster presentations and group discussions with experienced CSCW researchers. After the poster session, we will have a consulting session where a participant can get advice from multiple mentors. The mentors will lead the discussions and can give concrete advice on how to frame the work, design an experiment, and what kind of analysis to carry out, etc. The mentors are world renowned CSCW researchers from Asia or have roots in Asia.
Panels
We will have two panels, both of which focus on the future of CSCW.
(1) “New frontier of CSCW” discusses potential themes which could be led by Asian researchers - some subtopics may be easier to put into practice in Asia.
(2) “Career development panel” features successful young Asian researchers and discuss various career path based on their experiences.
