My colleagues and I are giving a tutorial at CSCW 2000 (see
http://www.acm.org/cscw2000) at the beginning of December.
Please note,
Early registration for CSCW 2000 has been extended until this Friday,
Nov. 3, 2000 (http://www.acm.org/cscw2000/reg.html).
This tutorial has been completely revised for this year's conference.
We are covering the techical issues at a higher level (very little program
code) and have added material discussing the social and HCI issues.
The tutorial (http://www.acm.org/cscw2000/progtutorials.html#t6) is:
T6: Developing Web-based Collaborative Applications-Social and Technical
Issues

* IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, USA

Origins: A completely revised version of a highly-rated CSCW 98 and CSCW 96
tutorial.
Goals and Content: Once limited to serving information and facilitating
transactions, the World Wide Web is increasingly being used to support
collaboration for work groups as well as non-work-related groups. Our goal
is to discuss the social and behavioral aspects of collaborative
interactions and to describe how Web technologies can be used to build
applications to support these. We will look at CSCW research and commercial
collaborative applications to identify the necessary set of features. The
tutorial will examine alternative implementations of awareness, social
visualization, chat, and shared workspaces. We will highlight ways to use
the Web as a development platform, and compare their suitability for
implementing collaborative applications. At the end of the tutorial,
participants will be aware of the elements to consider in Web-based
collaborative applications and will be able to use Web technologies to
build such applications.
Intended audience: This intermediate-level tutorial is intended for
researchers, designers, and developers working in CSCW or Web applications
to explore, design and build Web-based collaborative applications. In
particular, this tutorial is of relevance to individuals interested in
understanding issues related to social as well as technical elements needed
in collaborative applications.
