This conference looks at computer-supported cooperative work from an
interdisciplinary point of view that includes technological, socio-logical,
organizational, cognitive, and task domain perspectives. CSCW '86 drew

engineering disciplines.

We invite proposals for panels and discussion groups as well as papers.
