Design for Collaboration:
Communities constructing technology
A One Day Workshop
at
The King’s Manor, University of York
12 March 1999
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/~bob/kingsmanor2.html
Call for Participation
----------------------
This will be the second in a series of one-day workshops at
King's Manor in York. Each workshop will focus on a different
set of aspects of work studies and the design and evaluation of
interactive systems. The successful assimilation of a technology
into the workplace is dependent on the relations between a wide
variety of different communities (users, managers, designers and
so on). In this workshop we aim to explore how these communities
construct, adapt and define the technologies of their work place.
In the workshop we hope to bring together perspectives on
studying the relations between communities and the technologies
they use and design. The presentations planned for the meeting
cover a broad range of issues in this field encompassing
* Theories and models of collaborative activity in the
design of technology
* Evaluation of collaborative systems
* Virtual, distributed, technologically mediated communities
