The voices in this collection are primarily those of researchers
and developers concerned with bringing knowledge of technological
possibilities to bear on informed and effective system design.
Their efforts are distinguished from many previous writings on
system development by their central and abiding reliance on direct
and continuous interaction with those who are the ultimate arbiters
of system adequacy; namely, those who will use the technology in
their everyday lives and work. A key issue throughout is the
question of who does what to whom: whose interests are at stake,
who initiates action and for what reason, who defines the problem
and who decides that there is one.
The papers presented follow in the footsteps of a small but
growing international community of scholars and practitioners of
participatory systems design. Many of the original European
perspectives are represented here as well as some new and
distinctively American approaches. The collection is characterized
by a rich and diverse set of perspectives and experiences that,
despite their differences, share a distinctive spirit and direction
-- a more humane, creative, and effective relationship between
those involved in technology's design and use, and between
technology and the human activities that motivate the
technology.
