With the widespread proliferation of social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter, the cscw community has seen a growing interest among researchers to turn to records of social behavior from blogs, social media, and social networking sites, to study human social behavior. This nascent area, that has begun to be referred to in various research circles as "computational social science", provides an exciting and promising development in the cscw community. This panel brings together a host of researchers with varied disciplinary perspectives to investigate the potential and current state-of-the-art, as well as forthcoming challenges, practical and methodological issues that engender this emerging topic.

Open-source communities can be seen as knowledge-sharing ecosystems: participants learn from the community and from one another, and share their knowledge through contributions to the source code repositories or by o?ering support to users. With the emergence and growing popularity of social media sites targeting software developers (e.g., StackOverflow, GitHub), the paths through which knowledge flows within open-source software knowledge-sharing ecosystems are also beginning to change. My dissertation research seeks to raise our understanding of these changes.
Privacy research has long focused on the individual. Yet most organizations are highly collaborative where teamwork is the norm. To examine privacy practices in collaborative settings, we conducted an ethnographic stu...

Businesses increasingly accomplish work through innovative sourcing models that leverage the crowd. As a new way of distributing work across units within an organization and as a form of outsourcing work beyond organizational boundaries, crowdwork is inherently disruptive. Crowdwork raises a number of questions about its implications to the future of organizational work, including reconfigurations to the very nature of work, consideration of the opportunities and threats to both organizational forms and worker status, and about the systems that underlie and are meant to support crowdwork. There is a need for a clear research agenda to address these challenges and to inform the design of solutions for crowdwork as it integrates with other forms of organizational work.

Industries are increasingly encouraging human-robot collaboration to complete tasks. As robots become more ubiquitous in these environments, robots will need an appropriate understanding of the social behaviors necessary to work alongside humans. The goal of my dissertation is to inspect how key behaviors for effective collaboration-particularly communication strategies, gestures, and object management-affect task outcomes. An understanding of these behaviors will inform designs of collaborative robot behavior and reveal a deeper understanding of human behavior. My work first understands a set of human behaviors, translates those behaviors to a robot, and tests the impact of each behavior on collaborative outcomes.

There seems to be a need for more rapid, lower cost, exploratory, lightweight, responsive and revisable methods that can help with discovery based research in cscw. A growing number of researchers are expressing frustration with the challenge of selecting or developing an appropriate research method, applying it in a cscw context and then having to justify the legitimacy of that method in publications, and particularly through the peer review process. In this workshop we will share experiences in the design adaptation and use of lightweight research methods. We will explore ways to assess the validity, strengths, and weaknesses of these methods - and how to explain these and justify them to others.
We present a qualitative study of 13 farm families who intentionally merge their home and work lives. This is in contrast to most families studied in cscw, who are urban/ suburban, white-collar and often dual-income, ...

This paper proposes a demonstration of Voyant, a novel system giving users access to a non-expert crowd to receive structured feedback on the perceptions of their designs from a target audience. Voyant generates the elements seen in a design, the order in which elements are noticed, impressions formed when the design is first viewed, and interpretation of the design relative to guidelines in the domain and the user's stated goals. The coordinated views in Voyant is designed to help user analyze relations between the crowd's perception of a design and the visual elements within it.
