GROUP'99 - Conference Description - GROUP ?99 provides a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in topics related to computer-based systems which have an impact on groups, organizations and social networks. Relevant issues include design, implementation, deployment, evaluation, methodologies, and effect of these systems.
A Survey of Applications of CSCW for Digital Libraries - a review of the field of CSCW with respect to digital libraries; covers both library & information science and computer science
CSCW Annotated Bibliography - An annotated bibliography, through 1991, of computer supported cooperative work. This bibliography is a part of the Computer Science Bibliography Collection.
CSCW Evaluation in Five Types - One of the potentially confusing aspects of evaluation within computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) is that there are many activities one might wish to carry out at different times that evaluate socio-technical systems. I identify five ideal types: the effects of a new computer system in an organisation; the formative development of a piece of software; the evaluation of conceptual developments; the evaluation of a cooperative system where factors other than the computers are more interesting; and the determination of which piece of software to buy.
Groupware Design Issues - Elaboration of the primary issues in designing collaborative systems, including issues of group size and structure, floor control, privacy, and groupware adoption.
Physical and Virtual Tools: Activity Theory Applied to the Design of Groupware
Introduction to Groupware - Groupware is software that helps groups of people work together. This introduction explains the goals and purposes of groupware, and some of the challenges involved.
Helping CSCW applications succeed - This study found that the use of a computer conferencing system in an R&D lab was significantly shaped by a set of intervening actors---mediators---who actively guided and manipulated the technology and its use over time.
The Caelum Toolkit - a general framework for the construction of groupware and CSCW applications.
Everything's Coming Up Virtual - Research paper about virtual organizations and the information technology needed to support them. Published in Crossroads, the ACM student magazine.
Typical Groupware Applications - An overview of the primary groupware applications, including both synchronous groupware (video, chat, shared drawing) and asynchronous (email, workflow, newsgroups).
GroupLab Research - Abstract and text of CSCW research papers from GoupLab, 1983-1999.
Internet Groupware for Scientific Collaboration - A "manifesto" for how groupware technologies could dramatically improve the efficiency of scientific collaboration.
Modifying CSCW Environments Dynamically for Supporting Virtual Enterprises - In CSCW environments data and operations can be shared by users and/or they can have their own defined data and operations which may not be shared by other users.
