Conference Program
Program Overview

Jim Herbsleb and Gary Olson, conference chairs

Welcome to the ACM 2004 Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work!

The CSCW conference is a leading forum for the work on the design, deployment, and evaluation of technologies that affect groups, organizations, communities, and societies. New technologies of this type continue to appear in all segments of society. While the field of CSCW began formally nearly two decades ago with a focus on work (captured, of course, in the name itself), it is now the case that CSCW researchers and developers attend to all aspects of social life.

As you will see from looking through the program, the conference offers many opportunities for coming into contact with what is happening in the CSCW field. We encourage you to engage with many of these, so you can enjoy the full richness of the conference.
