CSCW Papers

Alas we aren't able to give adequate coverage to the field of computer-supported cooperative work, due to lack of time -- we've got one paper listed above, but there are many good possibilities. The ACM CSCW Conference, and the European ECSCW conference, which occur on alternate years, are good places to look for papers in this area.

Here are a few CSCW papers that we've assigned in 510 in previous years:

• Meeting at the Desktop: An Empirical Study of Virtually Collocated Teams by Gloria Mark, Jonathan Grudin, and Steven E. Potrock. Proceedings of ECSCW. The 6th European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 12-16 September 1999, Copenhagen, Denmark
  
• The Notification Collage: Posting Information to Public and Personal Displays. by Saul Greenberg and Michael Rounding. CHI 2001, Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems [CHI Letters 3(1)], 515-521, ACM Press.

And some optional papers from previous years:

• Design for Individuals, Design for Groups: Tradeoffs Between Power and Workspace Awareness by Carl Gutwin and Saul Greenberg, Proceedings of the 1998 ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW 98).
• Designing Groupware for Congruency in Use by Wolfgang Prinz, Gloria Mark, and Uta Pankoke-Babatz, CSCW 98.
• Evaluating emergent collaboration on the Web by Loren Terveen and Will Hill, CSCW 98.
• Social, individual and technological issues for groupware calendar systems by Leysia Palen, CHI 99.
• Just talk to me: a field study of expertise location by David W. McDonald and Mark S. Ackerman, CSCW 98.
• Using filtering agents to improve prediction quality in the GroupLens research collaborative filtering system by Badrul M. Sarwar, Joseph A. Konstan, Al Borchers, Jon Herlocker, Brad Miller and John Riedl CSCW 98.
• Representing fieldwork and articulating requirements through VR by James Pycock, Kevin Palfreyman, Jen Allanson and Graham Button, CSCW 98.
• Supporting Awareness and Interaction through Collaborative Virtual Interfaces by Mike Fraser, Steve Bedford, John Hindmarsh, and Christian Heath, UIST 98.
• A.J. Bernheim Brush, David Bargeron, Jonathan Grudin, Alan Borning, and Anoop Gupta, Supporting Interaction Outside of Class: Anchored Discussions vs. Discussion Boards, Proceedings of Computer Support for Collaborative Learning 2002, Boulder, Colorado, January 2002.
• Two Approaches to Casual Interaction over Computer and Video Networks by Alan Borning and Michael Travers, CHI 91. (OK, so this paper is really ancient. I don't know how it crept onto the reading list. At least it's optional.)
