Design for Collaboration:
Communities constructing technology
Friday, 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 the centre of 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
