This volume presents the proceedings of ECSCW'09, the 11th
European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work. Each
conference offers an occasion to critically review our research
field, which has been multidisciplinary and committed to high
scientific standards, both theoretical and methodological, from its
beginning. These proceedings represent discussions and
contributions to ongoing challenges. One challenge comes from
emerging new technologies connected to 'social computing', gaming,
as well as applications supporting citizen participation in their
communities. As boundaries between home and work erode with the
increased movement of work into home environments, and new
applications further blur the once separate conceptions of work and
leisure, our intellectual community faces challenges in the ways we
think about and study work. Other challenges result from
transformations of the world of work itself and the role of IT in
these. They have been taken up in in-depth studies of design
practice, software development, and manufacturing, as well as in
the growing body of research on health care contexts and
applications. Finally, there is the question of what is the
European perspective in our community and whether it is worthwhile
to anchor our research more firmly in such a perspective. Of high
relevance to our field is the strong grounding of technology
development in an understanding of human activity.
The nineteen full papers, four short papers and one discussion
paper selected for this conference deal with and reflect on some of
these challenges, thus representing the lively debate currently
ongoing in our field of research.
