Special issue<\/b><\/p>\n
Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) has traditionally studied the interdependencies between collaborating human actors and computer systems. New CSCW systems enable completely new divisions of labor between collaborating actors and computer systems in an organizational setting. Particular examples are crowdsourcing, open innovation or the inclusion of external experts in internal processes. This has important implications for organizational structures, management and motivation.<\/p>\n
Social Computing refers to supporting social interaction and socialization by the use of IT systems. Within that context the term Social Software is used for tools or services that \u201csupport, extend or derive added value from human social behavior\u201d. While both terms \u201cSocial Computing\u201d and \u201cSocial Software\u201d have only become relatively popular within the last ten years, the core ideas behind them have a much longer history, going back to Vannevar Bush\u2019s ideas about the Memex in 1945.<\/p>\n
In this special issue on “CSCW & Social Computing” we would like to focus on research that studies new human-human work and networking patterns as well as new configurations of humans and computers. Submissions should address challenges in the development, introduction and evaluation of information systems to support collaboration in teams, communities, crowds and social networks in and around organizations. Since supporting human work by information systems requires both an adequate understanding of technological developments and of work practices submissions can and should cover organizational, social and technical issues.<\/p>\n
In the context of this focus we are asking for submissions from research and practice, e.g. on the following topics:<\/p>\n
