This book is about cooperative work and the coordinative practices
through which order in cooperative work is accomplished.
Information technology has been used in organisational settings and
for organisational purposes such as accounting, for a half century,
but IT is now also and increasingly being used for the purposes of
mediating and regulating complex activities in which multiple
professional actors are involved, in factories and hospitals, in
pharmaceutical laboratories and architectural offices, and so on.
The economic importance of such coordination systems is enormous
but their design often inadequate. The problem is that our
understanding of the coordinative practices for which these systems
are developed is deficient, leaving systems developers and software
engineers to base their designs on commonsensical requirements
analyses. The research reflected in this book addresses these very
problems. It is a collection of articles which establish a
conceptual foundation for the research area of Computer-Supported
Cooperative Work.
