CONTEXT

Is e-mail obsolete? As a matter of fact, we tend to gather more and more
information in our inboxes: personal and professional communications, but
also marketing and commercial ads, alerts and notifications from websites or
social networks, search engines results, agendas, ... The current use also
tends to widen: e-mail is not only used to fulfill inter-personal
communication but also to exchange files, to gather RSS feeds or to pick up
a date for a meeting. Many people rely on their inboxes to retrieve
important information and to organize their daily work.


Do electronic messaging systems offer new solutions to answer these existing
and future usages of e-mail? What will be the trends in e-mail software?
E-mail solutions nowadays don't present huge differences with early ones : a
3-pane interface displaying email folders, a list of messages in
chronological order and the content of the message currently selected. Gmail
was quite revolutionary with its new UI (thread list and thread view) and is
considered as the major innovation lately. Social networks (Facebook) and
broadcast medium (Twitter) enable to reach a broader audience while reducing
unsolicited messages. Given this context, what will be the next innovations
in e-mail software: Unified messaging system? Integration of tasks manager
and agenda? Is e-mail really collaborative? And does e-mail solutions allow
collaboration through e-mail? Can we (should we) share contacts, threads,
encourage content sharing instead of exchanging files with e-mail?

Workshop Goals


This workshop aims at gathering the most relevant scientific and technical
contributions, in order to enlighten the current key research on emails and
to unveil some of the main upcoming trends. Scientific contributions either
from core e-mail research or external fields are sought for, such as (but
not limited to): IA (intelligent agents), NLP (email linguistic analysis),
SNA (social network analysis), psychology (group interaction, graph
communication analysis, ...), linguistic (stylistic changes from
letter-writing to instant messaging jargon), human-computer interaction
(user experience, design guidelines). As well as technical issues, efficient
and emerging best practices based upon real life scenarii, user experience,
security issues, legal archiving, new protocols may also be of interest. A
comprehensive list of topics is available here.
