Conference Program
Welcome to the 2010 ACM Conference on
Computer Supported Cooperative Work
From the Conference Co-Chairs
Welcome to CSCW 2010! This conference will be a place to hear about the latest in CSCW research, an
opportunity to learn new things, and a chance to connect with friends in the community.
We are pleased to see such a strong and diverse program at this year’s conference. We have a mix of
research areas represented – some that are traditionally part of our community, and several that have
not been frequently seen at CSCW. There are sessions to suit every taste: from collaborative software
development, healthcare, and groupware technologies, to studies of Wikipedia, family communications,
games, and volunteering. We are particularly interested in a new kind of forum at the conference
this year – the ‘CSCW Horizon’ – which will present novel and challenging ideas, and will do so in a
more interactive fashion than standard paper sessions. The program is an exciting and topical mix of
cutting-edge research and thought in CSCW.
A major change for CSCW beginning this year is our move from being an biennial to an annual
conference. This has meant a change in the time of the conference (from November to February),
and subsequent changes in all of our normal deadlines and procedures. Despite these changes, the
community has responded with enormous enthusiasm, and we look forward to the future of yearly
meetings under the ACM CSCW banner.
A conference the size of CSCW requires a huge amount of planning. There is a large team behind the
scenes carrying out this work: thirty-four chairs have been organizing venues, deadlines, reviews,
and logistics for more than a year and a half. The success of the 2010 conference is due to the tireless
efforts of the chairs, the paper reviewers, and the student volunteers, and we deeply appreciate their
commitment and dedication. In the coming months, when you are asked to serve the community in
one of these roles, we hope you will seize the opportunity to contribute to the continued success of
the CSCW conference.
We hope you enjoy your experience at CSCW 2010!

Special Session: Reflecting on the DARPA Red
Balloon Challenge
Tuesday 11:00-12:00
Location: Savannah D+E
CSCW Town Hall Meeting
Monday 18:00-19:00
Location: Savannah D+E
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Internet, the
DARPA Network Challenge explored the roles the
Internet and social networking play in solving
broad-scope, time-critical problems. Teams had to
find 10 moored red weather balloons deployed at
undisclosed locations across the continental United
States. A team from MIT located all 10 balloons in
less than 9 hours. In this special session, participants
in the competition (including an MIT team member)
will reflect on what the CSCW research community
can learn from this timely CSCW event.
The CSCW Town Hall Meeting is a time dedicated for
the CSCW steering committee to interact with
members of the CSCW community who will attend
CSCW 2010, harnessing their interests, and addressing
their concerns about future directions of the CSCW
conference. At this meeting, the process for identifying
new members of the CSCW steering committee will
be discussed with attendees.

W1: Collective Intelligence in
Organizations: Toward a Research Agenda
Location: Forsyth
Gregorio Convertino, PARC
Antonietta Grasso, Xerox Research Center Europe
Joan DiMicco, IBM Research
Giorgio De Michelis, University of Milano-Bicocca
Ed H. Chi, PARC
A new generation of Web tools is penetrating into
organizations after their successful adoption within
the consumer domain (e.g., social networking;
sharing of photos, videos, tags, or bookmarks;
wiki-based editing). These tools and the collaborative
processes that they support on the large scale are
often referred to as Collective Intelligence (CI). The
workshop will focus on CI tools for collaboration in
work-related settings, especially for task forces now
increasingly common in industry or government.
The workshop is aimed at refining the problem,
summarizing pioneer work on CI in general (i.e.,
exemplars of practices and tools), and ultimately
developing a research agenda that specifically
addresses the problem of supporting CI among
workers in organizations.

W7: New Frontiers in Telepresence
Location: Johnson
New research paradigms in CSCW come with unforeseen ethical challenges. In particular, online social
research tests the boundaries of public observation,
third-party disclosure, and anonymization methods.
Furthermore, there are differences in norms about
what is and is not ethical among various research
disciplines studying the Web. This workshop will bring
together CSCW researchers who are interested in
ethical challenges and best practices for studying
the Web. We anticipate this workshop will include a
mix of seasoned veterans from industry and academia,
HCI/CSCW educators, and newcomers to the field.
From this workshop, we will foster the development of
a network of researchers who will help shape university and corporate best practices for online research.
Telepresence technology has only begun to scratch
the surface of how people establish a sense of shared
presence and space among separated members of a
group. Attempting to broaden our current, limited
conceptions of telepresence may uncover many new
opportunities for telepresence innovation. For example,
our current conceptions of telepresence meetings
are as monolithic events. However, work is often
varied and diverse in terms of people, topology, goals,
history, relationships, etc. What new design space
is defined if telepresence grew to encompass this
variety of work? As a second example, telepresence
supports what happens during typical meetings or
calls. However, interactions among a pair or group
of people span days, months, or years. How does
the suite of telepresence experiences work together
and play out in the long term? This workshop, using
a “soapbox madness” approach, will identify major
topics that break out of current, limited conceptions
of telepresence to spur new technology ideas.
W6: Fun, seriously?
Location: Telfair
Li-Te Cheng, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
N. Sadat Shami, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
Mark Blythe, University of York
Nathan Bos, Johns Hopkins University
Fun and work are becoming intertwined in employees’
experiences. Whether through serious games, social
software, best practices, or corporate culture, fun
at work is shaping how workers collaborate with
each other. This workshop seeks to bring together
a diverse community exploring research related to
fun in a work context. Through position papers and
interactive discussions, participants will discuss what
does it mean to ‘have fun’ in a work context, why fun
is important at work, how can fun be communicated
through design, and how can fun be measured.

W8: Handovers & Handoffs: Collaborating in Turns
Location: Telfair
Nikhil Sharma, University of Michigan
Michael Cohen, University of Michigan
Brian Hilligoss, University of Michigan
Emily Patterson, The Ohio State University
Handoffs and handovers are common domains. They
are crucial to effective team performance, but are also
considered ripe opportunities for the introduction of
errors and inefficiencies. A workshop is proposed to
examine the various types of handovers/handoffs,
ways of better supporting handovers/handoffs with
technology, and exploring possible benefits of
handovers/handoffs. It is expected that the workshop
will help advance understanding of handovers/
handoffs as a form of collaboration and will bring
relevant collaboration research to bear on the
problem of errors in handovers/handoffs.
W10: Collaborative Information Retrieval
Location: Pulaski
Meredith Ringel Morris, Microsoft Research
Gene Golovchinsky, FX Palo Alto Laboratory, Inc.
Jeremy Pickens, FX Palo Alto Laboratory, Inc.
Although most digital information-seeking tools are
designed for solo use, studies have shown that groups
of many types (e.g., students, families, and knowledge
workers) have shared information needs that are not
adequately served by status quo technologies. This
workshop seeks to bring together researchers with
backgrounds in CSCW, social computing, information
retrieval, library sciences, and HCI to discuss the research
challenges associated with the emerging field of
collaborative information seeking. This workshop will
serve as an opportunity to make connections with
researchers with diverse backgrounds, to learn about
participants’ works-in-progress, and to brainstorm
on topics of mutual interest, such as developing
standardized evaluation tasks for collaborative information seeking systems and considering how new
media such as social networking and microblogging
tools can play a role in collaborative information seeking.
W11: The Changing Dynamics of
Scientific Collaborations
Location: Forsyth
Cecilia Aragon, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Jeffrey Heer, Stanford University
Charlotte Lee, University of Washington
Claudio Silva, University of Utah
The confluence of two major trends in scientific
research is leading to an upheaval in standard
scientific practice and collaborative technologies. A
new generation of scientists, working in large-scale
collaborations, is repurposing social software for use
in collaborative science. Existing social tools such
as chat, IM, and FriendFind are being adopted and
modified for use as group problem-solving facilities.
At the same time, exponentially greater and more
complex datasets are being generated at a rate that
is challenging the limits of current hardware, software,
and human cognitive capability. A concerted effort
to create software that will support new scientific
practices and handle this data tsunami is redefining
the collaboratory and represents a new frontier for
computer supported cooperative work. This follow-on
event to a similarly themed workshop at CHI 2009 is
intended to foster community among researchers
and practitioners from multiple disciplines interested
in the changing dynamics of scientific collaborations.
W12: CSCW Research in Healthcare:
Past, Present, and Future
Location: Oglethorpe A+B
Madhu C. Reddy, The Pennsylvania State University
Jakob E. Bardram, IT University of Copenhagen
Paul Gorman, Oregon Health and Science University
Although many prior CSCW studies and technologies
have focused on clinical and hospital settings, the
changing nature of healthcare delivery opens a
larger space for CSCW research. For instance, the
concept of individuals managing their own health
information through a Personal Health Record (PHR)
raises new questions about collaboration mediated
over differing levels of expertise and terminology,
as well as across organizational boundaries and
professional disciplines. This workshop has three
main goals. First, we will explore the contributions
that CSCW has made to our understanding of
collaboration in the healthcare setting. Second, we
will identify challenges to conducting research in
the healthcare field. Third, we will develop a research
agenda for future research in healthcare. Building on
these discussions, participants will be encouraged to
submit papers for a special issue of The International
Journal of Medical Informatics on Collaboration in
Healthcare Settings: The Role of Informatics.

frequently drew on ambiguities inherent in SMS
to craft plausible, but sometimes deceptive,
accounts of their activities.
Reading Between the Lines: Linguistic Cues
to Deception in Online Dating Profiles (note)
He Said She Said: Analyzing Interaction
Patterns
Catalina L. Toma, Cornell University
Jeffrey T. Hancock, Cornell University
Location: Savannah C
This study shows that deception in online dating
profiles correlates with changes in how daters write
about themselves in the open-ended portion of the
profile (i.e., “about me” section).
Warrants and Deception in Computer

Darcy Warkentin, University of British Columbia,
Okanagan
Michael Woodworth, University of British Columbia,
Okanagan
Jeffrey T. Hancock, Cornell University
Nicole Cormier, Ryerson University
The present paper examined how warrants, or
connections to our real-world identity, constrain
deception across different media. The results indicate
that warrants suppress both the frequency and
seriousness of lies regardless of medium.
Perceptions of Trustworthiness Online:
The Role of Visual and Textual Information
Catalina L. Toma, Cornell University
This paper examines how (1) the perceived
trustworthiness of online daters and (2) the accuracy
of these perceptions are affected by the type of
information available in online profiles (photographs,
textual self-descriptions or photographs and textual
self-descriptions together).
Chair: Darren Gergle, Northwestern University

This panel addresses the challenge of conceptualizing
cultural variation in CSCW research and tool
development. It will start with a brief overview of
currently popular theories of cultural difference,
followed by panelist and discussant presentations
addressing key issues with respect to culture: (a) Are
cultural differences an important concept for CSCW?
(b) If so, what are appropriate ways to characterize
these differences? (c) What kinds of differences are
most relevant to our work? We will end the panel
with audience questions and commentary.

The CSCW Town Hall Meeting is a time dedicated for
the CSCW steering committee to interact with
members of the CSCW community who will attend
CSCW 2010, harnessing their interests, and addressing
their concerns about future directions of the CSCW
conference. At this meeting, the process for identifying
new members of the CSCW steering committee will
be discussed with attendees.
Social, collaborative web applications such as
Facebook, YouTube, Flickr are invaluable sources of
network, social, and behavioral data. They are
also increasingly used to recruit participants for
experimental, survey, interview and ethnographic
studies. Two sets of issues arise for conducting
relevant, valuable, ethical and meaningful research.
First, issues derive from restrictions imposed by
companies’ legal Terms and Conditions – specifically,
sites and services are laden with conditions of access
that may constrain researchers from being able to
collect the data they need to address research
questions. Second, questions arise around research
validity and research ethics. Where access is possible
at all, sampling can be skewed owing the specifics
of the implementation of the emergent social
graph. Additionally given the nature of social sites,
inadvertent violation of researcher/participant
privacy can result from the ready availability of
personal content - and the facility with which one
can view content generated by those who are linked
to study participants but who may not themselves
be participants. In this panel, we bring researchers
and industrial representatives together to discuss
these and related issues – addressing what issues
arise when attempting to conduct valid and ethical
research, while adhering to industry requirements.

Socialization Tactics in Wikipedia and Their Effects
Boreum Choi, Carnegie Mellon University
Kira Alexander, University of Pittsburgh
Robert E. Kraut, Carnegie Mellon University
John M. Levine, University of Pittsburgh
We examined WikiProjects, subgroups in Wikipedia
organized around working on common topics or
tasks. As a result, we identified the seven socialization
tactics used most frequently and their impact on
newcomers’ commitment to the project.
The Work of Sustaining Order in Wikipedia:
The Banning of a Vandal
R. Stuart Geiger, Georgetown University
David Ribes, Georgetown University
We analyze ‘vandal fighting’ in Wikipedia as an
epistemic process of distributed cognition, tracing
out the role of non-human actors in enabling a
decentralized activity of collective intelligence.
Readers are Not Free-Riders: Reading as a
Form of Participation on Wikipedia (note)
Judd Antin, University of California, Berkeley
Coye Cheshire, University of California, Berkeley
In this paper we present three arguments illustrating
how Wikipedia’s readers should not all be characterized
as free-riders. We find support for our arguments in the
results of a survey of Wikipedia usage and knowledge.
Egalitarians at the Gate: One-Sided
Gatekeeping Practices in Social Media (note)
Brian Keegan, Northwestern University
Darren Gergle, Northwestern University
How egalitarian is decision-making in online
communities? Deliberations on Wikipedia suggest

using the ‘wisdom of the crowd’ in your organization? Come and find out!
Are You Having Difficulty? (note)
Jason Carter, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Prasun Dewan, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
It would be useful if software engineers/instructors
could be aware that remote team members/students
are having difficulty with their programming tasks.
We have developed an approach that tries to
automatically create this semantic awareness based
on developers’ interactions with the programming
environment.
Beyond Wikipedia: Coordination and
Conflict in Online Production Groups
Aniket Kittur, Carnegie Mellon University
Robert E. Kraut, Carnegie Mellon University
We examine the evolution and interaction of
coordination and conflict in 6811 online wiki
production communities, finding marked
similarities to and differences from Wikipedia.
Special Session: Reflecting on the
DARPA Red Balloon Challenge
Location: Savannah D+E
Chair: John C. Tang, Microsoft Research
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Internet, the
DARPA Network Challenge was conducted on
December 5, 2009. The contest explored the roles
the Internet and social networking play in the timely
communication, wide-area team-building, and
urgent mobilization required to solve broad-scope,
time-critical problems. Teams had to find 10 moored
red weather balloons deployed at undisclosed
locations across the continental United States.
A team from MIT won the $40,000 prize by locating
all 10 balloons in less than 9 hours.
In this special session reflecting on a timely CSCW
event, we will gather people who participated in
the competition (including a representative from
the winning MIT team) to discuss what the CSCW
research community can learn from the experience.

Karrie Karahalios, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign
People who review products on the web invest
considerable time and energy in them. So why
would someone write a review that restates earlier
reviews? We look to answer this question.
On the “Localness” of User-Generated Content
(note)
Brent Hecht, Northwestern University
Darren Gergle, Northwestern University
Local knowledge has been described as one of the
main benefits of geographic user-generated content
(UGC). We investigate the true degree of localness in
several large UGC repositories.
Determinants of Wikipedia Quality: The Roles of
Global and Local Contribution Inequality (note)
Ofer Arazy, University of Alberta

In this panel we will discuss how youth, including
children, pre-teens, teens and young adults interact
with social media, and how that interaction might
differ from that experienced by adults. While not
primarily concerned with the educational effects
of social media, we will discuss how social media is
both used in the classroom, but shut down at many
schools as well. Other topics will include how youth
understand social media, their privacy concerns, and
inherent barriers to adoption by populations of youth.

Dr. Mizuko Ito is a cultural
anthropologist of technology
use, focusing on children and
youth’s changing relationships
to media and communications.
She has recently completed a
research project supported by
the MacArthur Foundation, a
three year ethnographic study
of kid-initiated and peer-based forms of engagement
with new media. The findings of this project will be
reported in a book forthcoming from MIT Press this
year, Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out:
Youth Living and Learning with New Media. Her book
on educational software, Engineering Play, will also
be published by MIT Press this year. She is conducting
ongoing research on Japanese technoculture, and is
currently studying online fans of anime and editing
a book on otaku culture. Her work on mobile phone
use in Japan appears in a book she co-edited with
Daisuke Okabe and Misa Matsuda, Personal, Portable,
Pedestrian: Mobile Phones in Japanese Life. She is a
Research Scientist at the University of California, Irvine.
