P L E N A R Y     P A N E L
Privacy issues and CSCW 
Moderator: To be announced
The field of computer-supported cooperative work must be 
particularly sensitive to the effect of technologies on 
individual and group privacy rights. These technologies are 
often designed to provide access to people or collect (and 
thus make available) potentially-sensitive information about 
participants. In this panel, we will present general issues 
of privacy, especially with respect to social control and 
technology use. We will look at both commercial and research 
technologies as a means of discussing their specific impacts 
on privacy. A focus of the panel will be to grapple with the 
question of how we go from understanding the issues of 
privacy to taking action in our own research, development, 
and use of CSCW technologies.

P A N E L
CSCW and the paradox of stalled productivity
     Moderator: Sara Kiesler--Carnegie-Mellon University
Studies of the productivity payoffs of computer-based 
technologies have generally failed to find significant 
improvements for organizations. A paradox exists because 
computers and systems that are known to improve performance 
of individuals or jobs don't show organizational productivity 
payoffs.  Many experts believe the paradox arises from the 
way individuals and jobs are linked to make a productive 
organization.  Is CSCW-as a set of linkage technologies-a 
solution to the paradox? Some think so.  Others argue that 
CSCW will simply add more noise or even hurt productivity 
further by, for example, adding costs to management of 
information.  In this panel we will air the evidence for the 
paradox and discuss how CSCW will-or will not-solve it.

Commercial products for CSCW
     Moderator: Esther Dyson--Release 1.0
At CSCW '90 we found few commercial CSCW products and debated

that discussion asking: Why is it taking so long for CSCW 
software to get to market? What is happening with current 
CSCW products that are on the market? What will be the next 
breakthrough product? Is CSCW research proving to be 
relevant?
