The Persistent Conversation Minitrack:
History and Paper Downloads
What is it?
The Persistent Conversation minitrack and workshop is an annual meeting
that takes place at the Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Science
(HICSS) in January. Its aim is to provide a multi-disciplinary forum for
researchers and designers who deal with computer-mediated conversation.
The meeting is small (on the order of two to three dozen people), and is,
in feeling, halfway between a conference and workshop. It typically begins
with a half-day workshop, whose aim is to introduce the minitrack's core
participants (both authors and audience members) to one another, and to
provide a sense of the various approaches, methods and domains represented.
The minitrack itself consists of a series of sessions, each one divided
equally between presentation and audience discussion; the discussions continue
after the minitrack (and throughout the conference) in the beautiful setting
provided by HICSS. See http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu
for more information.
