	CSCW and Groupware: Their Processes, Utility
		CSCW has since come to be broadly defined as an umbrella term covering how people work together as a group, what they need to work together as a group, and how computers and communication tools can be developed to support the people and the activities or tasks which they are engaged in (Gruden, 1994).
		CSCW is a multifaceted concept but it’s possible to break it into two basic components – technological and human.
		CSCW attempts to do this by facilitating group memory and charting progression so that different shifts and different workers can come to the same information at different times in a smooth fashion.

	CFP - Workshop at CSCW'98 on Handheld CSCW, Seattle, 14 November
		Specific objectives are to analyse handheld CSCW systems and applications, to review handheld technologies with respect to their application in CSCW, and to inform handheld computing development from analysis of collaborative work.
		More general goals are to promote an awareness of handheld computing in the CSCW community, to stimulate a shift from single-user to multi-user application of handhelds and wearables, and to foster a community for handheld CSCW research.
		Handheld CSCW covers the application of handhelds in both co-located work settings and remote collaboration, in both synchronous and asynchrounous collboration modes, and in both support of specific groups and support of communities.

	CSCW Evaluation in Five Types
		This is in the nature of the shift that CSCW entails, from the usability trials based on cognitive psychology used by researchers and practitioners in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), to considering the social organisation of work and its effects on technology.
		So the typical model of these evaluation studies is this: the researcher either asks or is asked to come into the organisation; they 'hang around', watching what is going on, and perform interviews; they structure these ideas in terms of their preferred theory; and then they present a conclusion to the members of the organisation.
		There are those within the CSCW community whose interest is to build systems (in the narrow, technical sense of the term) and have them be used, either for commercial purposes or within a research community.

	The Domain and Goals of CSCW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The goal of CSCW is to discover ways of using computer technology to further enhance the group work process through support in the time and place dimensions.
		Notice that the focus of the CSCW goal is the social interaction of people, and not the technology itself.
		CSCW can take advantage of the graphics and sound capabilities to provide more natural and life-like interfaces from which to collaborate with others.

	Computer supported cooperative work - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to Carstensen and Schmidt (2002), CSCW addresses "how collaborative activities and their coordination can be supported by means of computer systems." On the one hand, many authors consider that CSCW and groupware are synonyms.
		CSCW [is] a generic term, which combines the understanding of the way people work in groups with the enabling technologies of computer networking, and associated hardware, software, services and techniques.
		A lot of confusion in the field of CSCW raises from the different interpretations of the terms collaboration and cooperation.

	Internetworking: CSCW
		CSCW (Computer Supported Collaborative Work) is a term that covers a vast variety of applications.
		CSCW applications at their best should support both computer-supported work (such as word processing etc.) and the work supported by traditional desktop stationary, such as pen and paper.
		Because everything affects everything in CSCW (technologies suggest, how the work should be done and vice versa) and the acceptance of a CSCW applications depends mostly on human factor issues we have to go ahead developing the CSCW applications with trial and error.

		In a CSCW environment, everyone types at his own speed or in his own style, without needing to wait until the others given him or her the occasion to speak.
		Moreover, through the use of nicknames or other devices the contributors can be kept anonymous so that the idea of the general manager is considered with the same unbiased attitude as the one of the junior employee.
		Finally, the inherent computing capabilities of CSCW tools make it possible to overcome cognitive constraints, by processing information that would be too complex to use in traditional environments.

	CSCW 2006 - Workshops Program
		While research in CSCW has always been interested in understanding and facilitating collaborative activities, a recent trend in CSCW research has been to adopt an explicit "activity perspective" in the design of groupware systems.
		Conversely, the (CSCW) research community presents to design research a large body of general work on the construction and understanding of systems for professional cooperation.
		The two domains of design and CSCW are largely separate, with a small number of researchers contributing to both communities.

	European Telework Online - CSCW
		So CSCW is the human activity of working together using the technology to help the group processes - information exchange, information sharing, discussion, joint authorship of texts, decision making etcetera.
		CSCW researchers study how people work in groups and how the computer can best be applied to support their work.
		The easiest way to think about this is to see Groupware as the technology, CSCW as the activity and the methods and practices.

		8). One of the particular challenges that CSCW faces is the disjunction between testing software, especially interfaces, for individuals and small groups on the one hand and such testing for widely distributed, heterogeneous user populations on the other.
		A further link to the later CSCW literature is the paper’s focus on language and the constitutive nature of language for our world and world view (the “traditional” Sapir-Whorf hypothesis [cf.

	What is CSCW and Groupware? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		CSCW is also concerned with the study and theory of how people work together, and how groupware affects group behavior.
		CSCW is technology independant which means technology is not the major driving force behind the discipline.
		These types of products are very different from single user applications which isolate the user and restrict the user to performing independant tasks.

	CSCW and social etiquette
		There are three linked effects of metaphor: on the initial learning of the system, on the continuing use of the system, and for developers on the generation of new applications.
		For a particularly novel application such as may occur for CSCW, it can help to give an idea of the usefulness of the tool and how it can be employed in various forms of work practice.
		Even though a metaphor may seem to be useful for a CSCW application, the application that embodies it may be unacceptable or unusable because it violates certain rules of etiquette.

	OMG - ISIG - CSCW WG Meeting #01
		Background: The CSCW area has a rich history, including CSCW conferences, research in collaboration, and many products and prototypes but there is no widely adopted architectural framework that encourages interoperability of CSCW tools or makes such tools easy to develop based on lower level services.
		The CSCW WG is chartered to develop such a framework and to identify services missing from the OMG suite that might be widely useful and are needed for CSCW.
		One of the views of the CSCW Framework is as a capability maturity model showing increasing levels of sophistication.

	SocioSite: TELETOOLS - GROUPWARE & CSCW
		CSCW is de study of tools and techniques of groupware as well as their psychological, social and organizational effects.
		So 'Groupware' is used to specifically denote the technology that people use to work together, whereas 'CSCW' refers to the field that studies the use of that technology.
		It ties the emergence of CSCW in the 1980s to the growing interest of product developers in supporting networked groups and the discovery of common interests with those working management information systems, as well as with researchers in the social sciences and other disciplines.

		The CSCW community has a tradition of adopting social and analytical theories to understand groups and group processes as well as when designing new systems to support and augment cooperative work.
		The key notion from network analysis, that the interconnections between people can be used to understand and improve their interactions, is one that has direct implications for CSCW research.
		Social network techniques in CSCW design – These techniques can vary from contact management, to recommendation techniques, to ways of understanding how an organization is adopting and using a new technology.
