[Sociam-soton] CSCW '14 some thoughts

[electronic Max]

Dear Social Machine Thought Leaders :)

The deadline for papers for CSCW'14 is May 31, 2013, which is
extremely, extremely early.  It is a rather ambitious as it is a VERY
VERY hard conference ti get into and is fast approaching, but was
wondering if anyone was already thinking about trying to put
something.

Some preliminary ideas are :

Characterising Social Machines : We collect some more data using our
simple SM-for-SM app and try putting it in, if anything to get
feedback from people.

(Up to Chris) We help Chris et al put together a reflections on
Zooniverse / looking at Zooniverse paper

(Up to Ramine et al) - We help Ramine reshape some of his Twitter
dataset analysis work into a CSCW-appealing submission

OR, a perhaps more sensible idea would be to give it a pass for now
and focus on CHI2014 which is September 9th or so.

Anyway, this year's CSCW proceedings have just been released and they're here:

CSCW 2013 Proceedings
http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2441776&picked=prox&cfid=184194451&cftoken=94334668

There's an entire track on e-science, an entire track on Twitter
analysis, Twitter sentiment analysis, electronic medical records and
more.

Yours,
Max
