The main theme of this workshop is intercultural collaboration, from both
technical and socio-cultural perspectives. Topics will include collaboration

technologies), social psychological scientific analyses of intercultural
interaction, and case studies that increase mutual understanding in our
multicultural world. Submissions will be considered for papers, panels,
demonstrations, and posters.
The workshop will feature several prominent invited speakers (to be
announced).
Papers
Papers are solicited on any aspect of intercultural communication and
collaboration. Papers can describe studies of intercultural communication
and collaboration or present new technologies to assess and support
intercultural interaction. Examples of suitable paper topics include:
- Field studies of intercultural collaboration in global organizations or in
local communities
- Laboratory studies of intercultural collaboration
- Surveys studies of cultural differences in collaboration styles
- Case studies of intercultural collaboration using information technologies
- Cultural responses to cross-cultural interaction
- Computer supported intercultural collaboration
- Ubiquitous/ambient technologies for intercultural collaboration
- Internet and web technologies for intercultural collaboration
- Frameworks for manual or automatic measurement of properties of
intercultural communication
- Multilingual communication technologies
- Interoperability of language resources
- Usability of language resources for intercultural collaboration
- New methods or measures for the study of intercultural collaboration
All papers are expected to be suitable for a multidisciplinary audience and
focus on issues of intercultural collaboration. Long papers will be
published in the ACM Digital Library. Full papers should be no longer than
10 pages. Papers should be formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI template
and submitted in PDF format. Details on the submission procedure will be
provided in the near future. Please see the SIGCHI author instruction page
(http://sigchi.org/chipubform/) for more information and downloadable
templates.
All full papers will be evaluated using a double-blind review process.
Authors should omit their names and affiliations from the title area of the
paper and conceal references to their own prior work by referring to it in
the third person (e.g., authors should say, “In an earlier study, Jones and
Smith found “ rather than or instead of “In an earlier study, we found …”).
Papers that have not been appropriately anonymized will be returned without
review.
Panels, Demonstrations and Posters
IWIC will also feature three categories of nonarchival submissions: Panels,
demonstrations and posters. Submissions for these categories should be no
longer than 3 pages in length using the ACM template (see above).
Unlike paper submissions, panels, demonstrations and posters will not be
blind reviewed. Authors should include their complete names and contact
information at the top of their submitted PDF file.
Panels: Individuals may submit proposals for panels of three or four talks
on a related theme in intercultural communication. Panel submissions will
not be archival, so panelists may discuss previously published work.
Submissions should provide each panelist's background and contact
information, as well as a brief statement of his or her position on the
panel theme.
Demonstrations: Individuals may submit proposals to present demonstrations
of new technologies for intercultural communication. Demonstration
proposals should clearly describe the motivation for the tool and how it
will be demonstrated at the workshop. Demonstration descriptions will not be
archival; therefore, demonstrations can include both previously published
work and work that is not yet ready for publication.
Posters: Individuals may submit proposals to present informal posters during
the workshop. Poster descriptions will not be archival; therefore, posters
can describe both previously published work and work that is not yet ready
for publication.
Review Process:
Submitted papers, panels, and demonstrations will be reviewed by a panel of
distinguished researchers in the area of intercultural communication and
collaboration.
Important Dates:
Deadline for papers, panels, posters and demonstrations: June 30th, 2008
Author notification: September 30th, 2008
Deadline for camera ready papers: November 30th, 2008

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP
5-7 January, 2009
Organized by
The Indian Institute of Management - Bangalore
Bangalore, India
Abstracts/Proposals
April 15, 2008
Educational leadership is increasingly complex and facing unprecedented
challenges. Managing change and improvement is one of the most complex tasks
of leadership as they have to help educators, students, parents and other
stakeholders build effective teams by developing new organizational
structures and creating a shared vision that focuses on authentic student
learning. Such inspired and informed leadership is critical to the success
of educational institutions.
Today the education system must meet new standards for quality demanded by
an increasingly technological, complex and diverse society. Like business
and industry, the education field is discovering that the old ways do not
work and innovation is needed. Promoting high scholastic achievement by
every child needs outstanding academic leaders. Schools and colleges
throughout the world are experiencing a crisis situation in the matter of
attracting, preparing, and supporting the next generation of strong and
visionary leaders. An important way to address these challenges would be for
the educational system to build robust linkages with the industrial houses
and seek their support for attracting and promoting academic leadership,
enhancing the quality of the programs being offered, and developing students’
skills as effective and employable practitioners. This conference will
address these and other related issues.

DOMS 3RD INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 2008
CALL FOR PAPERS
We want to welcome you to the UWI Department of Management Studies' 3rd
Annual International Management Conference 2008.
This year's exciting and provocative theme is "Effective Management
Strategies for Developing Countries". This is a topic of relevance to people
from countries around the world. More and more, developing world companies
are moving into developed countries, and those from developed countries are
seeking opportunities in developing ones. It is timely for a conference that
addresses the specifics of effective management in developing countries, and
how this is similar to, or different from, management elsewhere.
We invite you to join us in the beautiful island country of Barbados, itself
a developing country. This venue gives participants the opportunity to
explore the reality of management in the Caribbean, while enjoying the sun
and sea, in the stimulating environment of a rigorous academic debate.
Researchers and practitioners will find the conference papers and
presentations provide insights drawn from academic research as well as
practical experience. We believe all participants will benefit from these
insights. This conference will move forward our understanding of effective
management in developing countries.
The conference hopes to promote contributions to the broad theme from any
discipline(s) and/or functional area(s) of management relating to the
following topics:
- Strategic Planning and Corporate Governance
- Effective Leadership in a Changing Environment
- Creativity and Innovation
- Entrepreneurship (including issues in Marketing, Accounting, and
Budgeting)
- Organisational Culture and Human Resource Management
- Project Management and Evaluation
- International Business Planning and Management
- Globalization and Economic Outlook
- Information Technology for the Business Environment
Details of the International Management conference are as follows:
Theme: Effective Management Strategies for Developing Countries
Dates: November 20-21, 2008
Fees: $350 USD
