INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE ON COMPUTER SUPPORTED COOPERATIVE WORK (CSCW)

Abstract

As it grows, the SIGCHI community spawns new technical areas. Although SIGCHI itself is a relative youngster, it has already seen the Hypertext, UIST and CSCW conferences come into being as offshoots of CHI. This issue of the SIGCHI Bulletin is devoted to the field of Computer Supported Cooperative Work. The CSCW field has grown so quickly that it is experiencing the same problems the early CHI community faced. These include (1) widely scattered literature that is difficult to find, (2) different conflicting paradigms for approaching the CSCW subject area, (3) multiple approaches for building and studying groupware systems but no framework for how or where to use them, and (4) a lack of integration of the new CSCW approaches with current technology.
