CoPDA 2013:
International Workshop on Culture of Participation in the Digital Age
Empowering End Users to Improve their Quality of Life
http://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda/

In conjunction with IS-EUD 2013 (http://iseud.net)
June 10, 2013 - IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark

--------
Overview
--------
Digital Age is defined by the use of technology to support the way people
communicate and interact in their everyday and working lives. Digital age
therefore offers new and exciting opportunities to people, but it also 
presents
new challenges to researchers and designers. Issues such as utility,
efficiency, productivity, trust and other human values should be 
considered in
a holistic sense oriented to enhance the 'quality of life' of people.

The goal of this workshop is to promote the study of the new realities 
provided
by the emerging of digital age. The following questions will be explored
(but no limited to):

Conceptual
- How and how much cultures of participation affect, positively or
negatively, end users’ quality of life?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of cultures of participation for
fostering collaborative problem-solving activities?
- What does it mean to do EUD in large community and mass collaboration? 
(e.g.
can we accept user generated content, UGC, as a form of EUD or is it
simply use in CP terminology)
- What about creating a building or interactive event in Second Life, would
that be an instance of meta-design or EUD?

Methodological
- What are the methods to employ to study the activities of cultures of
participation?
- How to support different levels of participation (e.g. interested
outsiders, collaborators, partial contributors, full contributors,
meta-designers, etc.)?
- How to assess individual contributions in terms of contributing to a 
common
goal?
- How to assess the quality of a contribution? Is it possible or of
interest to distinguish ‘good’ and ‘bad’? Moreover, are there really ‘bad’
contributions?
- How to design for massive EUD, e.g. a type of meta design?
- How to provide zones of end-user development (ZEUD) in socio-technical
systems, like hooks and open points in the run-time environments of these
systems so that end-user developers can create personally motivated
extensions to these systems?

Technological
- How EUD tools can support cultures of participation?
- What types of interactive environments can stimulate participation?
- What kind of technological platforms could support large community and
mass collaboration EUD?

KEYWORDS:
cultures of participation, digital living, end-user development,
socio-technical systems, meta-design
