From WikiSym 2008
June 11th: submissions deadline for posters, demos, WikiFest proposals, and DoctoralSpace proposals
Contents |
Welcome! Bem-vindo!
Welcome to the conference wiki for WikiSym 2008 - the 4th International Symposium on Wikis, Porto, Portugal, September 8-10.
WikiSym is the premier conference devoted to research and practice on wikis -- lightweight, open, collaborative systems for recording and refining ideas and information.
WikiSym 2008 aims to explore and extend the thriving wiki community, again bringing together researchers, practitioners, writers and scholars to gather, discuss and share knowledge and experience on all areas related to wikis and the wiki philosophy, ranging from social to technical, and from foundational to experience studies.
The Symposium offers a rigorously reviewed research paper track, as well as plenty of space for practitioner reports, discussion of work in progress, demonstrations, tutorials, and informal but lively OpenSpace and WikiFest sessions.
Anyone who is involved with wikis, either in using, researching, or developing, is highly encouraged to contribute to WikiSym 2008!
