			       Call for Papers
				   COOCS 93
		Conference on Organizational Computing Systems
		   Sponsored by ACM SIGOIS and IEEECS TC-OA
		       in cooperation with IFIP WG 8.4
       Sheraton Silicon Valley --- Milpitas (near San Jose), California
			      November 1-4, 1993

  
As we move toward globally distributed businesses, widespread mixed-media
computing systems and highly mobile workers, the availability of information
within an organization becomes increasingly critical.  Advances in tools,
technologies, and methodologies that facilitate the use of information systems
in organizations will improve the way information is made available and used.
This conference is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners
interested in the use, management, and movement of information within
organizations. The scope of the conference is intended to cover areas related
to this goal, including but not limited to:

 	Organizational computing systems  
 	Distributed AI, Expert Systems and Multi-Agent models 
 	Object and Database Models and Systems  
 	Parallel, Distributed and Open Information Systems  
 	Computer-Supported Collaboration  
 	Task Analysis, Modeling, Planning and Coordination 
 	Social Aspects of Integrating and Using Information 
 	Analysis of Organizational Structure and Dynamics to   
		organizational utilization of computers  
 	Multimedia Information, Storage, Retrieval and   
 	Portability and the Mobile Office 
 	Organizational Impact of Large Distributed Applications 
 

Submissions to the conference can be in the form of papers, demonstration,
panel, workshop or tutorial proposals.

Papers can take two forms.  Research Investigations present original work in
any of the areas of interest to the conference.  Case studies discuss projects
which introduce innovative tools, technologies or methodologies into
particular organizational settings, and critically analyze the results and
impact of the project.  Papers should not exceed 12 ACM camera-ready pages.
It is possible that some papers will be presented at the conference in poster
sessions.

Demonstration proposals should be 3-5 pages long, and include enough
information to allow the committee to judge the relevance and significance of
the work.  Please include machine requirements.

Panel proposals should motivate the subject of the panel, and give brief
biographical sketches of each of the proposed panel members.

Workshop and Tutorial proposals should motivate the workshop/tutorial and its
relevance to this conference. For tutorials, provide an outline and a brief
biosketch of the proposers.  For workshops, motivate the workshop, indicate
how you would select participants, and outline the format of the workshop.
Proposals for both half-day and full-day workshops and tutorials are welcome.

Authors should submit five copies of their manuscript, in English, together
with a cover sheet, to the Program Chair by March 1, 1993.  The cover sheet
should contain (i) submission type; (ii) title, (iii) names, addresses, phone
numbers, fax numbers and email addresses (if available) of all authors; (iii)
contact author; (iv) keywords and abstract.  Information on paper format can
be obtained from the Program Chair.
