[Matt Lease]

CrowdConf 2013: 4th Annual Conference on the Future of Distributed Work
http://crowdconf.com
October 22, 2013
San Francisco, CA

Call for Abstracts (http://www.crowdconf.com/call-for-abstracts)

CrowdConf will bring together academic and industrial researchers, 
technologists, outsourcing entrepreneurs, and artists to discuss how 
crowdsourcing is transforming human computation and the future of work. 
As the premier industrial conference for crowdsourcing, CrowdConf offers 
researchers an opportunity to network with personnel from the platforms 
we use, a first chance to see and influence features in development, 
fantastic media exposure from tech journalists, and the usual 
opportunities to network with other researchers.

We invite submission of short, non-archival research abstracts on 
crowdsourcing, human computation, and social computing. Topics of 
interest include, but are not limited to the following:
* Past, present, and future of crowdsourcing
* Quality assurance and metrics
* Social and economic implications of crowdsourcing
* Task design/Worker incentives
* Innovative projects, experiments, and applications

Each submission must contain:
* Author name(s), affiliation(s), and email address(es) (submissions 
should not be anonymized)
* Title
* Abstract text (up to 500 words)

PDF format is required, though no specific template is required for 
document layout. Abstracts must be submitted via EasyChair 
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cc20131) for (single-blind) 
peer-review by the Program Committee.  If the author wishes to present a 
demonstration or has any unusual space or technological needs, that 
should be noted within the abstract text.

Each author of an accepted abstract will receive two complimentary 
conference registrations. Most accepted authors will be asked to present 
posters (posters will be on display in a high-traffic area all day, and 
there will be a dedicated session for presentation with hors d'oeuvres). 
  A smaller number of authors will be offered high-profile speaking 
slots (individual or as part of a research panel).

There will also be discount registration rates for non-presenting 
faculty and students; it should be a great event for both presenters and 
attendees!

* Deadline for abstract submissions: August 15, 2013
* Notification of acceptance: September 9, 2013
