This is the second instance of CrowdCamp (as now renamed). The first was incarnation was the CHI 2011 Workshop on Crowdsourcing and Human Computation. |

WORKSHOP GOALS |
The field of collective intelligence—encompassing aspects of human computation, crowdsourcing, and social computing—is having tremendous impact on our lives, from building history's largest encyclopedia to interactive systems powered by crowds. We are studying and building systems to push the boundaries of what is possible in these fast-growing areas. To effectively do so, we draw from diverse disciplines including computer science, business, economics, and design. Yet few opportunities exist to form the interdisciplinary teams necessary for this work and to rapidly test new ideas. This 2-day event is unlike traditional CHI workshops. We encourage a hands-on approach with an emphasis on idea generation and prototyping, while keeping the traditional benefits of provocative discussion and community building. We hope to bring together a diverse set of researchers, expose them to a broad range of ideas, actively engage them in starting a project, and sow the seeds for future collaboration. At the very least there'll be donuts. Possible outputs include an experiment DESIGN, in-depth THOUGHTS on wicked problems, or paper or coded PROTOTYPES. Please apply if you: STUDY platforms and projects to understand motivation and participation, EXPERIMENT with mechanisms for increased engagement or quality, or BUILD innovative systems for crowds (friends, or communities) or powered by crowds. Further details can be found in the workshop extended abstract document. |

APPLICATIONS |
The application deadline has passed. Please see below for attendee list. We are interested in ideas and the ability of participants to produce something in the two day workshop (whether that deliverable is an experiment design, in-depth thoughts on a problem, data analysis, or a coded prototype). For this reason we are not only asking you to describe your ideas but also your way of working. We know that a good team can make or break an experience. Further details can be found in the workshop extended abstract document.
We ask participants to fill in the
application form, consisting of the following questions, by Jan 20, 2012:
Accepted applicants will be asked to read (anonymized) ideas, and write a short blog post about themselves and highlight the ideas they found particularly interesting. |

AUTHORSHIP |
To encourage people to contribute broadly and keep ideas flowing freely, we will propose group authorship and credit where appropriate, hoping for fruitful collaborations (see Polymath, for example). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
REGISTRATION |
As with previous years, workshop attendees are required to register for at least one day of the full CHI conference, in addition to paying a fee for the workshop. Conference rates will soon be available on the CHI 2012 website. Only those who have had applications accepted will be able to attend the workshop. We do aim to disseminate the deliverables if possible, and write about the ideas, themes, and patterns that came out of the workshop. Accepted participants will be provided with a registration code by the workshop organizers, which will allow them to register for the workshop via the CHI 2012 site. |
