COMPUTER SUPPORTED COOPERATIVE WORK COOPERATI...

Information technology has been used in organisational settings and for organisational purposes
such as accounting  for a half century  but IT is now increasingly being used for the purposes
of mediating and regulating complex activities in which multiple professional users are
involved  such as in factories  hospitals  architectural offices  and so on. The economic
importance of such coordination systems is enormous but their design often inadequate. The
problem is that our understanding of the coordinative practices for which these systems are
developed is deficient  leaving systems developers and software engineers to base their designs
on commonsensical requirements analyses. The research reflected in this book addresses these
very problems. It is a collection of articles which establish a conceptual foundation for the
research area of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work.
