Studies in Computer Supported Cooperative Work

Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) examines the possibilities and effects of technological support for humans involved in group communication and work processes... attention has been devoted to how humans might interact, not so much with computers, but with each other through computer based technology. Based on papers delivered at a conference topics are dealt with under six sections: the concept of CSCW; generic models and configurable systems; empirical studies of cooperative work and system use; infrastructure for CSCW; CSCW and design: principles and practices.
Computer-supported Cooperative Work

Published in 1994, this work supplies an up-to-date view of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and its role in empowering groups to achieve better solutions faster. The enabling technology and group organizational and behavioural aspects of CSCW should be of interest to a wide audience.

The terms groupware and CSCW (computer-supported cooperative work) have received significant attention in computer science and related disciplines for quite some time now. This book is a revised and extended version of the 2nd edition of the German textbook "Rechnergestützte Gruppenarbeit: Eine Einführung in verteilte Anwendungen". It has two main objectives: first, to outline the meaning of both terms, and second, to point out both the numer ous opportunities for users of groupware and the risks of applying such sys tems. The book intends to introduce an area of distributed systems, namely the computer support of individuals trying to solve a common problem in cooperation with each other but not necessarily having identical work pi aces or working times. Computer-supported cooperative work is an interdisciplinary application domain. It can be viewed as a synergism between the areas of distributed sys tems and (multimedia-) communication on the one hand and between those of information science and socio-organizational theory on the other hand. Thus, the book is meant to help students of aH these disciplines, as weH as users and developers of systems which have communication and cooperation within groups as top priorities.
