CHI 2008 Workshop on Sensemaking April 6 , 2008

The CHI 2008 workshop on sensemaking was the second of its kind. Another workshop on sensemaking was held at CHI 2005. (A position paper by this author and a co-worker was also accepted for that workshop). (See http://dmrussell.googlepages.com/sensemakingworkshoppapers for the actual papers and Appendix A for the titles and corresponding author of these papers). We spent the morning and the first part of the afternoon hearing brief presentations. The papers were made available to the group electronically and were also sent in hard copy to the workshop participants so we had the opportunity to read these ahead of time. In the afternoon discussions were opened up and the group came up with a list of questions/issues that we need to address. It was agreed that a workshop should be held again next year at CHI.
