***CollabTech 2018 Call for Papers***
10th International Conference on Collaboration Technologies
Costa de Caparica, Portugal - September 5-7, 2018
Submission Deadline: 15 April 2018
http://www.collabtech.org/
====================================================================
CollabTech 2018 will be the 10th international conference on collaboration technologies. Due to marked advances in networking, computing and interaction technologies, we are at the cusp of collaboration technologies being a part of an intricate network of various types of everyday collaborative processes. The conference will provide a platform for the international collaboration technology community to showcase, discuss and deliberate on state-of-the art, emerging new technology developments and understanding the social use of these technologies to improve collaborations.
CollabTech would also like to encourage you to use this opportunity to present challenging studies, which may be at a very early stage of their system development, or their exploration of new evaluation methods, but may trigger exciting technology.
This year CollabTech will be co-located organized with CRIWG 2018 which means that participants registered for one conference can attend sessions from the other. CRIWG and CollabTech communities have similar research topics and goals, but are geographically located in different regions. This will be an interesting opportunity to meet each other.
