WikiSym, the 9th International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration
OpenSym, the 2013 International Symposium on Open Collaboration

August 5-7, 2013 | Hong Kong, China

http://opensym.org/wsos2013

In-cooperation with ACM SIGWEB and ACM SIGSOFT. Archived in the ACM
Digital Library.

The 2013 Joint International Symposium on Open Collaboration (WikiSym
+ OpenSym 2013) is the premier conference on open collaboration
research, including wikis and social media, Wikipedia, free, libre,
and open source software, open access, open data and open government
research. WikiSym is in its 9th year and will be complemented by
OpenSym, a new conference on open collaboration research and an
adjunct to the successful WikiSym conference series.

WikiSym + OpenSym 2013 is the first conference to bring together the
different strands of open collaboration research, seeking to create
synergies and inspire new research between computer scientists, social
scientists, legal scholars, and everyone interested in understanding
open collaboration and how it is changing the world.

WikiSym + OpenSym 2013 will be held in Hong Kong, China, on August 5-7, 2013.


Research Paper Call for Submissions

The joint conference will contain peer-reviewed research tracks on
* Open collaboration (wikis, social media, etc.) research (WikiSym
2013), chaired by Jude Yew of National University of Singapore
* Wikipedia research (WikiSym 2013), chaired jointly by Heather Ford
and Mark Graham of the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of
Oxford
* Free, libre, and open source software research (OpenSym 2013),
chaired jointly by Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona and Gregorio Robles of
Universidad Rey Juan Carlos
* Open access, data, and government research (OpenSym 2013), chaired
by Anne Fitzgerald of Queensland University of Technology

Research papers present integrative reviews or original reports of
substantive new work: theoretical, empirical, and/or in the design,
development and/or deployment of novel concepts, systems, and
mechanisms. Research papers will be reviewed by a research track
program committee to meet rigorous academic standards of publication.
Papers will be reviewed for relevance, conceptual quality, innovation
and clarity of presentation.

Each track has its own call for papers, which you can find on this
site. Submission deadline is March 17, 2013.

Authors, whose submitted papers have been accepted for presentation at
the conference have a choice of
* having their paper become part of the official proceedings, archived
in the ACM Digital Library,
* having their paper become part of an extended web-only proceedings
on wikisym.org and opensym.org,
* having no publication incident at all but only the presentation at
the conference.

WikiSym + OpenSym seeks to accommodate the needs of the different
research disciplines it draws on.


Doctoral Symposium Call for Submissions

WikiSym + OpenSym seeks to explore the synergies between all strands
of open collaboration research. Thus, we will have one doctoral
symposium, in which Ph.D. students from different disciplines can
present their work and receive feedback from senior faculty and their
peers.

The call for papers for the doctoral symposium can be found at
http://www.wikisym.org/current/ and http://www.opensym.org/current/.
Submission deadline is April 14, 2013.


Community Track Call for Submissions

WikiSym + OpenSym is also seeking submissions for experience reports
(long and short), tutorials, workshops, panels, non-research posters,
and demos. Such work accepted for presentation or performance at the
conference is considered part of the community track. It will be put
into the proceedings in a community track section; authors can opt-out
of the publication, as with research papers.

The call for submissions to the community track can be found at
http://www.wikisym.org/current/ and http://www.opensym.org/current/.
Submission deadline is May 17, 2013.


The WikiSym + OpenSym Conference Experience

WikiSym + OpenSym 2013 will be held in Hong Kong on August 5-7, 2013.
Research paper presentations and community presentations and
performances will be accompanied by keynotes, invited speakers, and a
social program in one of the most vibrant cities on this planet.

The open space track is a key ingredient of the event that
distinguishes WikiSym + OpenSym 2013 from other conferences. It is an
integral part of the program that makes it easy to talk to other
researchers and to stretch your imagination and conversations beyond
the limits of your own subdiscipline, exposing you to the full breadth
of open collaboration research. The open space track is entirely
participant-organized, is open for everyone, and requires no
submission or review.

The conference is organized (general chairs) by
* Ademar Aguiar of Universidade do Porto,
* Dirk Riehle of Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, and
* Waltraut Ritter of City University of Hong Kong.
