Workshop Description
The workshop will examine issues around the collaborative design and use of information infrastructures through a collective sharing and analysis of case studies. We welcome as position papers analyses on empirical studies or descriptions of cases that the authors are familiar with. The workshop approach will be a collaborative activity involving a 'live metareview' over participants' case studies. That is, the group will consider in turn a number of issues emerging from the cases. For each issue we will discuss whether and how it manifests in the particular infrastructure settings that each participant is familiar with or has studied. This will enable the participants to gain a richer understanding of the research space around infrastructure design and use. Goals of the one-day workshop are: case studies explored, key issues and special problematics identified, a poster prepared for the conference poster session, a journal special issue planned - and networking.
