Cooperative Work and Coordinative Practices - Contributions to the Conceptual Foundations of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)

چکیده
Good afternoon. First of all, I’d like to thank the two opponents, Professor Sharrock and Professor Engeström for their positive assessment of my dissertation as well as for the both critical and helpful comments they have offered. I guess that anybody who has the major part of his or her work for more than a decade evaluated by highly esteemed colleagues will look forward to reading their assessment with some trepidation. So I was quite relieved to find that they saw merit in it. I would also like to thank the Academic Council of the ITU for granting me the opportunity of defending the dissertation here today.

متن کاملCoordinative Artifacts in Architectural Practise
CSCW researchers have increasingly come to realize that the material work settings and the artifacts that populate them play a crucial role in the seamless and effective coordination and alignment of cooperative work. However, while the central role of artifacts in cooperative work has been recognized and applauded, the concept of artifact as used in CSCW is highly problematic as it often presu...
