Background and Goals
This workshop intends to be a forum for debate of issues concerning all kinds of activity coordination, including business process modelling, workflow, computer supported cooperative work/groupware, e-learning, e-commerce and other types of organized activities that can benefit from computer support. The emphasis of this workshop is mainly on human activity support and not merely on technical issues. We seek papers related to computer-based systems that support teams or groups in workplace settings, including the integration of multiple computer-based tools and technologies and the impact on the social activities supported by those tools and technologies.

Topics of interest
Papers may address one or more of the listed topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in the general workshop concept.

• Activity coordination
• Business process modelling
• Normative organizational systems
• Role-based control
• Workflow
• CSCW/Groupware
• Group decision support systems
• Social information systems
• Organizational semiotics
• Computer supported communication
• Computer supported learning and e-learning
• E-commerce: B2B, B2C and C2C
• Ontology management and knowledge sharing
• Distributed Artificial Intelligence
• Multi-Agent Systems
• Affective computing
• HCI for work groups
• Task-based systems
