CFP - Real-time Collaboration And Distributed Work
Today’s work practices are undergoing significant changes due to trends of virtualization and the emergence of new communication technologies. Distributed settings are increasingly common in organizations. While virtualization offers benefits (e.g. remote and flexible interaction), the resulting work environments present a number of challenges such as a lack of awareness of co-workers’ activities and locations. At the same time, with the number of available communication channels and devices growing, the communicative complexity increases likewise. People are faced with an increase in communication volume, more work interruptions, and at the same time with a poor availability of co-workers. The latter typically impedes information access and the free flow of knowledge.
With that in view, The International Journal of e-Collaboration is publishing a special issue on “Real-time Collaboration (RTC) and Distributed Work,” and has invited scholars from any methodological background to contribute papers that advance knowledge of the design, diffusion, appropriation, usage and impact of RTC systems, particularly in the context of distributed work. The full call of papers can be downloaded from here.
