The contributors to this important volume begin with a simple
premise: Computer system development is difficult, not primarily
because of the complexity of technical problems, but because of the
social interaction involved when users and designers learn to
create programs and express ideas together. Based on this important
concept, they offer concrete suggestions for ways that system
developers can experiment with new perspectives and techniques for
cooperating with users -- especially during the early phases of the
design process.
The editors' primary goal is to stimulate the creation of useful
computer systems -- systems that support and sustain the fragile
relationship of the people, the working environment, and the
computer technology itself.
The emergence of network facilities and the increased availability
of personal computer systems over the last decade has seen a
growing interest in the use of computers to support cooperative
work. This volume contains the proceedings of the sixth European
Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), a
multi-disciplinary area which embraces both the development of new
technologies and an understanding of the relationship between
technology and society. These proceedings present a collection of
papers that encompass activities in the field, treating such
subjects as virtual environments, uses of the Internet, studies of
cooperative work and emerging models, studies of groupware systems
in use in real-world settings, and theories and techniques to
support the development of cooperative applications. The articles
feature emerging technologies alongside new methods and approaches
to the expansion of this important class of applications. Audience:
This work reflects the best of the current research and practice
within CSCW. It will appeal to both researchers and practitioners
whose work involves computer and information science,
human-computer interaction, information systems, hypermedia,
organisational/social informatics and social studies of science and
technology.
