Although it is somehow difficult to define what middleware is (see RFC2768), it surely provides fundamental services in various situations such as authentication, authorization, accounting, directories, resource management, information discovery and retrieval, and security. Middleware solutions are starting to mature with a number of frameworks emerging that should ideally make use of common reusable components and tools to deliver specific middleware services for communities such as researchers in GRID communities and teaching and learning in Higher education for example. This workshop aims to share experiences of developing and managing middlewares from both a technical and policy aspect. It aims to bring together the domains of applications developers and middleware and security experts to identify areas of overlap and best practice so that the development of solutions can be simple and ideally modular in nature to ensure applications can be develop quickly and easily whilst conforming to middleware and security standards. Moreover, in this Workshop, papers on system developments/experiences are also welcome. If you consider submitting this kind of paper, please specify "Implementation" or "Experiences" in the keyword field of a paper. * TOPICS OF INTEREST The scope of the workshop includes but not limited to: - Authentication, authorization, accounting and access management - Single sign on for Web services and non-web applications - Federated identity management and identity federation. - Wireless network roaming architectures - Federations & trust fabrics (technologies and policies) - DNS and directory services - E-mail digital signature and encryption (S/MIME, PGP, etc.) - PKI deployment issues - GRID middleware - Security policies - Implementation/Experiences of middlewares. * PAPERS AND AUTHOR'S KIT Workshop papers should be within 6 pages in IEEE Conference format, no extra page is allowed. The Proceedings of the Symposium and the Workshops will be published, in separated volumes, by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Please follow the instructions on the web below where authors can find IEEE Proceedings Author Guidelines (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) * PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should be submitted on-line no later than March 15, 2012. Papers should be submitted through http://myreview.cs.iastate.edu/MidArch2012/. After a review process by Organizers and Program Committee of the Workshop, authors of accepted papers will be requested to send its final manuscript to IEEE-CS press no later than May 2, 2012. So, authors are kindly requested to submit papers as early as possible to facilitate a review process. * REGISTRATION It is the IEEE policy that accepted papers can be published only when IEEE recognizes that at least ONE author has completed FULL registration for COMPSAC Conference. So, authors will be requested to register along with the final manuscript. COMPSAC Conference Registration fees include a copy of the Conference proceedings, a copy of the Workshop proceedings, and admission to the Conference and Workshop sessions. * NOTE The date and length (a full or half day) of the Workshop will be decided by COMPSAC 2012 Organizing Committee taking account of the number of submitted papers, and be announced on the COMPSAC 2012 web. Please also note that, according to the COMPSAC 2012 Organizing Committee, the Workshop is subject to cancellation if the number of submitted papers is not sufficient. * ORGANIZERS Hiroyuki Sato, The University of Tokyo, Japan Kazutsuna Yamaji, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Shigeaki Tanimoto, Chiba Institute of Technology, Japan * PROGRAM COMMITTEE FOR PAPER REVIEW (including on-negotiaion candidates) Kento Aida, National Institute of Infomatics, Japan Leif Johansson, SUNET, Sweden Shoji Kajita, Kyoto University, Japan Toru Kobayashi, NTT, Japan Mikael Linden, CSC, Finland Diego R.

To support diverse and high-quality contributions, CSCW employs a two-phase review process described below. CSCW does not impose an arbitrary length limit on submissions, please refer to the call below for details about aligning paper contribution and length. IMPORTANT DATES * May 25, 2012: Title and Abstract requested (to improve reviewer match) * June 1, 11:59 Pacific Daylight Time: Submissions due * July 27: First-round notification (Revise & Resubmit or Reject) * August 27, 11:59 Pacific Daylight Time: Revised papers due * October 19: Final notifications * November 26, 11:59 Pacific Daylight Time: "Camera-ready" due SUBMISSIONS Title, abstract and paper submissions must be made via the Precision Conference System. A link to the submission site will be made available by early May. We invite submissions that detail existing practices or inform the design or deployment of systems. The scope of CSCW includes, but is not limited to, social computing, technologically-enabled or enhanced communication, collaboration, information sharing, and coordination. It includes socio-technical activities at work, in the home, in education, in healthcare, in the arts, for socializing and for entertainment. New results or new ways of thinking about, studying or supporting shared activities can be in these and related areas: - Social Computing. Studies, theories, designs, mechanisms, and software infrastructures addressing social networking, user-generated content, online gaming, crowdsourcing and collective intelligence, virtual worlds, collaborative information seeking, etc. - Theories and models. Critical analysis or organizing theory with clear relevance to the design or study of social and collaborative systems. - System design. Hardware, architectures, infrastructures, interaction design, technical foundations, or toolkits that enable the building of new social and collaborative systems. - Empirical investigations. Findings, guidelines, ethnographic studies of technologies, practices or use of communication, collaboration and social communication technologies. - Methodologies and tools. Novel methods or combinations of approaches and tools used in building systems or studying their use. - Domain-specific social and collaborative applications. For healthcare, transportation, gaming (for enjoyment or work), ICT4D, sustainability, collective intelligence or global collaboration, or other domains. - Collaboration systems based on emerging technologies. Mobile and ubiquitous computing, game engines, virtual worlds, and sensor-based environments. - Crossing boundaries. Studies, prototypes, or other investigations that explore interactions across disciplines, distance, languages, generations, and cultures, to help better understand how to transcend social, temporal, and spatial boundaries. Papers should detail original research contributions. Papers must report new research results that represent a contribution to the field. They must provide sufficient details and support for their results and conclusions. They must cite relevant published research or experience, highlight novel aspects of the submission, and identify the most significant contributions. Evaluation is on the basis of originality, significance, quality of research, quality of writing, and contribution to conference program diversity. PAPER LENGTH (new for CSCW 2013) There is no arbitrary minimum or maximum length imposed on papers. Rather, reviewers will be instructed to weigh the contribution of a paper relative to its length. Papers should report research thoroughly but succinctly: brevity is a virtue. Many research papers will be 10 pages long (the previous length limit for papers) but may be shorter if the contribution can be described and supported in fewer pages. While we will review papers longer than 10 pages, the contribution must warrant the extra length: the more you write, the more work for reviewers! Shorter, more focused papers (called Notes in years prior to 2013) are encouraged and will be reviewed like any other paper. Papers whose length is incommensurate with their contribution will be rejected. Papers will be presented at the CSCW conference and will be included in the conference proceedings archived in the ACM Digital Library. CSCW does not accept submissions that were published previously in formally reviewed publications or that are currently submitted elsewhere. Submissions must be in the HCI Archive Format. Send queries about Paper submissions to papers2013@cscw.acm.org. Papers are subject to blind reviewing. Your submission should have authors' names and affiliations removed and avoid obvious identifying features. Citations to your own relevant work should not be anonymous, but please cite it without identifying yourself as the author. For example, say "Prior work by [author]" instead of "In my prior work." Papers must include an abstract of no more than 150 words. Titles and Abstracts that are uploaded to PCS early will be used to find the best possible reviewer matches. Consider submitting a video that illustrates your work, either as a video figure judged as part of the submission (no more than two minutes long and 30MB in size) or as a longer stand-alone submission to the video track (Call for Videos). Videos are not required for submission of papers. CSCW 2013 Papers submissions must be uploaded online at the PCS submission system by 11:59 Pacific Daylight Time on June 1, 2012 to be considered. Confidentiality of submitted material will be maintained. Upon acceptance, the titles, authorship, and abstracts of Papers will be used in the Advance Program. Submissions should contain no information or material that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication, and should cite no publication that will be proprietary or confidential at that time. Final versions of accepted Papers must be formatted according to the detailed instructions. Copyright release forms must be signed for inclusion in the proceedings and ACM Digital Library. CSCW 2013 will continue the "Best of CSCW" awards program, in accordance with SIGCHI guidelines. Upon acceptance, some Papers will be nominated for additional review to identify "Honorable Mention" and "Best" awards. Approximately 5% of submissions may be nominated and 1% of total submissions awarded Best Paper. REVIEW PROCESS (new as of CSCW 2012) Papers will undergo two review cycles. After the first review a submission will receive either a "Revise&Resubmit" or "Reject" notification. Authors of papers that are not rejected have about 4 weeks to revise and resubmit them. The revision will be reviewed as the basis for the final decision. This is like a journal process, except that it is limited to one revision with a strict deadline. The primary contact author will be sent the first round reviews. Revise&Resubmits will require significant attention to prepare the resubmission for the second review. Authors of Revise&Resubmits will be asked to provide a description of how reviewer comments were addressed. Submissions that are rejected in the first round cannot be revised for CSCW 2013, but authors can begin reworking them for submission elsewhere. Authors need to allocate time for revisions after July 27, when the first round reviews are returned. Final acceptance decisions will be based on the second (revised) submission. The revision cycle enables authors to spend a month to fix the English, integrate missing papers in the literature, redo an analysis, adopt terminology familiar to this field, and perhaps even gather more data, problems that in the past could lead to rejection. It also provides the authors of papers that would have been accepted anyway the opportunity to make their submissions even stronger contributions to the CSCW research literature. The revision is submitted with a letter where the authors explain how the paper was revised, allowing more interaction between authors and reviewers. This review process is not an effort to change the “quality bar” for CSCW, either to raise or lower it! Instead, the intent is to give more authors a chance to clear the bar. This process may lead to more diverse kinds of papers qualifying. Reviewers have more time to consider the significance as well as the technical quality of submissions. Authors from related disciplines have an opportunity to adjust to the literature and terminology found in CSCW. This is not an invitation to submit extended abstracts or incomplete papers. As in the past, submit the paper that you would like to have published. Incomplete submissions will not be reviewed. Nearly half of submissions may be rejected on the first round, enabling the reviewers to focus on papers that have a good chance for acceptance. The strongest first round submissions will receive reviews that make it clear to the authors that few or no revisions are required for acceptance Acceptance is not guaranteed for papers making the second round; however, the CSCW 2012 experience showed that the majority of papers that made it to the second round were accepted. As a specific data point, nearly all submissions that received an average review score of 4 (out of 5) or higher were accepted. Additional author benefits: The rebuttal, which was focused on pointing out reviewing flaws, is replaced by a revision, which can be more appealing to read and actually improve your work. Authors of papers not making it through the first round benefit from a very quick turnaround. The CSCW 2012 program was the largest in the history of the conference, and reactions from the community were largely very positive. CSCW 2013 expects to build on this success. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
