		      FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
	
		     COLLABORATIVE COMPUTING
		     =======================

		A New Journal From Chapman and Hall

Aims and Scope
--------------

The integration of computing and telecommunications promises to
revolutionize the fundamental human process of collaboration.  The new
quarterly journal of Collaborative Computing is an international journal
which covers the areas of group work, collaborative systems,
telecommunications, computing and distributed systems thereby
providing a forum for exchange of information and experiences for those
involved in this revolution.

The journal will publish innovative research in Computer Supported
Cooperative Work (CSCW), Groupware and Computer Mediated
Communications (CMC), with particular emphasis on the development of
computer and communication technologies to support group work.  It
will be concerned with the design of cooperative systems and
Groupware; experiences with the use of such systems; and advances in
group support technologies. Areas of particular interest will include:

* reports of new CSCW systems and Groupware;

* architectures and environments for CSCW;

* the application of distributed systems technologies and
  approaches such as Open Distributed Processing (ODP) and 
  OSI to CSCW;

* the theoretical basis of CSCW

* models of collaboration;

* user interface tools and techniques for collaboration
  (e.g. Virtual Reality).

* evaluation of and experiences with CSCW systems;

* the relationship between CSCW and standards;

* the use of multi-media technologies in CSCW

* the process of design of CSCW systems

* the relationship between social and psychological theories
  of interaction and computational models.

The journal will encourage contributions from a wide range of
disciplines including computer science, social sciences, HCI, business
and management and information science. Particular emphasis will be
placed on inter-disciplinary approaches towards the development of
collaborative systems.

In addition to research papers, the journal will review CSCW products,
conferences and projects. It will also provide a forum for informing
readers of developments within the research community including new
initiatives, laboratory reports and interviews with leading
researchers.
