The 2019 ACM conference on computer-supported cooperative work and social computing is coming up in November! The research published and presented at CSCW 2019 is exciting and timely, spanning the social and engineering aspects of information and communication technologies.
Many of the papers published at CSCW 2019 are already being featured in write-ups in our Medium publication, and there will be more to come! In addition, our awards committee has chosen papers to represent the best of the conference, and we are excited to announce the winners of Best Paper awards, as well as Best Paper honorable mentions. These papers represent a spectrum of CSCW topics: algorithm-in-the-loop decision making , participatory design, gender in facial recognition systems, content moderation on Reddit, surgical robots, collaboration among data scientists, and beyond!
All of these papers will be presented during the main conference, November 9–13, in Austin, Texas. Many of these papers will also continued to be featured with short summaries on our Medium publication, so follow along and we hope to see you at the conference as well. Congratulations to all the authors receiving awards!
