September 1997 Conference participants took part in the following workshops.
Workshops offer an informal environment for focused group discussion and learning.
In recent years, social scientists and designers have recognized the need for a greater integration of their work in the study of cooperative work settings and in the design of the supporting technology. The goal of this workshop is to bring together participants from a number of academic disciplines concerned with the relationship between people and technology in the workplace. The discussion will be focused on the work done in this area in recent years. The underlying theme of the workshop will be the nature of ethnography as a descriptive social science and its role in workplace studies to inform design. The European experience is just beginning.
