OpenSym (WikiSym) 2014, the 10th International Symposium on Open
Collaboration, http://opensym.org/os2014
August 27-29, 2014 | Berlin, Germany
About the Conference
====================
The 10th International Symposium on Open Collaboration (OpenSym 2014) is the
premier conference on open collaboration research, including wiki and social
media, Wikipedia, free, libre, and open source software, open data, open
access, and IT-driven open innovation research.
OpenSym is the first conference series 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.
OpenSym 2014 will be held in Berlin, Germany, on August 27-29, 2014.
OpenSym is held in-cooperation with ACM SIGWEB and ACM SIGSOFT and the
conference proceedings will be archived in the ACM digital library like all
prior editions.

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 submission site, which you can find at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=opensym2014. Please select the
appropriate track. Submission deadline is April 20th, 2014.
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 no publication record
at all but only the presentation at the conference. For more information,
please see http://www.opensym.org/os2014/submission/paper-types/
OpenSym seeks to accommodate the needs of the different research disciplines
it draws on.
Doctoral Symposium Call for Submissions
=======================================
OpenSym seeks to explore the synergies between all strands of open
collaboration research. Thus, we will have a doctoral symposium, in which
Ph.D. students from different disciplines can present their work and receive
feedback from senior faculty and their peers.
The Doctoral Symposium has its own submission site, which you can find at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=opensym2014. Please select the
Doctoral Symposium track. Submission deadline is June 1st, 2014.
Community Track Call for Submissions
====================================
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 community track its own submission site, which you can find at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=opensym2014. Please select the
Community track. The first submission deadline is May 7th, 2014. A second
submission deadline for late-comers (at the risk of not getting a seat) is
June 15th, 2014.
The OpenSym Conference Experience
=================================
OpenSym 2014 will be held in Berlin on August 27-29, 2013. Research 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
OpenSym from other conferences. It is an integral part of the program that
makes it easy to talk to other researchers and practitioners 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 general chair of the conference is Dirk Riehle of Friedrich-Alexander
University Erlangen-Nürnberg. Feel free to contact us at i...@opensym.org with
any questions you might have.
