> SUMMARY
>
> WikiSym, the International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration,
> will be held this summer in Gdansk, Poland. Starting this year,
> WikiSym
> aims to explicitly broaden its scope, exploring not only the thriving
> wiki community, but also other open movements and open collaboration
> initiatives. This includes related areas such as open online
> communities,
> collaborative creation of multimedia content (with or without wikis),
> and open journalism and publishing, just to list a few examples.
>
> Furthermore, our goal is to establish WikiSym as a venue for the
> exchange
> of information, experiences and practices among an interdisciplinary
> audience, including researchers, practitioners, industry
> representatives
> and experts with a wide variety of different backgrounds.
>
> As a result, WikiSym has established 3 complementary tracks to merge
> the
> contributions from such a diverse community:
>
> * Wiki track: Focused on research in wiki technology,
> wiki websites, wiki communities, and in general any kind
> of initiative pivoting around wiki software.
>
> * Industry track: This new track will focus on the specific
> needs of enterprises and private companies interested in sharing
> and promoting their experiences around wikis and open collaboration
> projects/products/initiatives.
>
> * Open collaboration track: This track is a dedicated venue for
> sharing research results and experiences in initiatives that may
> not
> be built specifically on wiki software, but share the "wiki way"
> of organization. These may include open collaborations, open
> communities,
> and open movements that allow the interchange of ideas and
> contributions
> from participants with a range of interests and motivations.
>
> Research manuscripts may be sent to any of these tracks.
> However, submitting the same manuscript to more than one
> track at the same time is not allowed. Therefore, please
> select the most appropriate track for the topic covered in
> your manuscript before submitting.
>

> RESEARCH PAPERS
>
> Research papers present integrative reviews or original
> reports of substantive new work: theoretical, empirical,
> or in the development or deployment of novel systems.
> We encourage emphasizing lessons learned and providing a
> clear concise message to the audience about the relevance
> of the work. The paper must place your work in context
> within the field, citing related work and indicating clearly
> what aspects of the work are new.
>
> Research papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee
> to meet rigorous academic standards of publication.
> They should be written in English and must not exceed 10 pages
> (for full papers) or 4 pages (for short papers). Papers will
> be reviewed both with respect to conceptual quality and
> clarity of presentation. Authors of accepted papers are
> expected to attend the conference in order to present the paper.
>
> Accepted submissions will be published in the WikiSym
> proceedings and archived in the ACM Digital Library.
>
> Submitted papers should use the ACM SIG Proceedings Format, see:
>
> http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
>
> DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM
>
> The Doctoral Symposium is an interactive forum for doctoral
> students to receive present and discuss their doctoral work.
> Students who are at least one year away from dissertation
> completion are invited to submit to the Doctoral Symposium.
> Students beginning their research are especially invited to attend.
>
> To submit a proposal send a 2-3 page description of your
> dissertation research, including:
>
> * A description of your work
> * The goals---what contributions will your research generate?
> * The approach---what is being performed to achieve
> the goals? How will results be validated?
>
> Additionally, your adviser must send a brief statement
> of your dissertation progress to date and a statement of
> recommendation to the Doctoral Symposium chair.
>
> WORKSHOPS
>
> Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers and
> practitioners to discuss and learn about topics that require
> extended engagement such as new systems, research methods,
> standards and formats. A workshop should require participants
> to engage with each other for at least half a day. For shorter
> sessions, please consider WikiSym's open space format.
> A workshop proposal should consist of approximately two
> pages describing what you intend to do and how your session
> will meet the criteria described above. It should include a
> concise abstract, proposed time frame (half-day, full-day)
> and one-paragraph biographies of all people relevant to the
> submission. Workshop proposals will be reviewed and selected
> for their interest to the community. Each workshop will be
> allocated a half-day or a full-day and a room.
>
> PANELS
>
> Panels provide an interactive forum for bringing together
> people with interesting points of view to discuss compelling
> wiki issues. Panels involve participation from both the
> panelists and audience members in a lively discussion.
> Proposals for panels should consist of approximately two pages
> describing what you intend to do and how your session will
> meet the criteria described above. It should include a concise
> abstract and one-paragraph biographies of all panelists. A panel
> submission will be reviewed and selected for their interest to
> the community. Each panel will be given a 90-minute time slot.
>
> POSTERS
>
> Poster presentations enable researchers to present late-breaking
> results, significant work in progress, or work that is best
> communicated
> in conversation. WikiSym's lively poster sessions let conference
> attendees
> exchange ideas one-on-one with authors, and let authors discuss their
> work in detail with those attendees most deeply interested in the
> topic.
>
> Poster proposals may describe original research, engineering, or
> experience reports. Submissions should consist of a two-page extended
> abstract outlining the content of the poster. Successful applicants
> will
> be invited to display a poster, 1x2m in size, at a special plenary
> session of the Symposium.
>
> DEMONSTRATIONS
>
> Wikis are intended to be used, and no format is better suited for
> demonstrating the utility of new wiki research and technology than
> showing
> and using it. If you would like to demonstrate new features or
> products,
> this is the place! Demonstrations give presenters an opportunity to
> show
> running systems and gather feedback. Demo submissions will be reviewed
> based on their relevance to the community. A submission should be one
> page in length, with a title and a short description of the demo.
> The description should include what you plan to demonstrate, what you
> hope to get out of demoing, and how the audience will benefit. A short
> note of any special technical requirements may be included.
>
> HOW TO SUBMIT
>
> Please submit your research papers in PDF format through our research
> paper submission system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wikisym2010
