EUSSET Colloquium on CSCW Theories and Concepts
On:
A new year has begun, and we are looking forward to new interesting and relevant discussions on aspects of practice-centred computing. To start strong, the next EUSSET Colloquium will focus on CSCW theories and concepts.
Welcome to EUSSET!
This is EUSSET
An Introduction
EUSSET strives to be the primary international community devoted to practice-centered computing, linking researchers worldwide. Based upon empirical, design-oriented and system development work in organizations and communities, practice-centered computing has provided concepts and innovative technologies that fit into practice and lead to more efficiency and a higher quality of labor and life by empowering the participants in these endeavors. We – as a community – base our work on and aim to foster inclusiveness, transparency and democracy on all levels.
Our Contribution
A Manifesto
We have entered the Digital Decade. During the previous 10 years, digitalization accelerated and those developments animated debates in the scientific, political and business communities. Participating in the above debates and proposing research and innovation perspectives requires the participation of all the members of our community. This participation will help us strengthen our awareness and develop ideas, viewpoints, theories, systems and methods, creating new and important contributions to debates, providing a unique perspective in research and innovation.

Multi-sided platforms have increasing impact on how collaboration happens. @BabakFarshchian is proposing the notion of Platform-Supported Cooperative Work to study this impact and phenomena related to it.
