The evolving philosophies, methods, and products of cscw design research are more collaborative and value-active than ever. Researchers and participants may co-construct designs, thus sharing power;they may share intimate life stories over design probes, thus pushing socio-cultural boundaries;they may seek personal fulfillment through the products or the process. How do these experiences affect researcher and co-creator identity in the moment of co-work? How do these changes reconfigure other relationships and encounters? This workshop invites discussants from across disciplines to consider phenomenological aspects of identity-making and to unpack ethical dilemmas that arise when we appreciate the potential for design research itself to significantly harm or help participants. At stake are cscw policies, best practices, and collective understandings of what it means to be a design researcher.

Goal progress logging and social feedback have been shown to motivate individuals to achieve their goals. However little controlled study has been done to evaluate the relative effects of these features. We developed a simple goal achievement application, Achieve, to examine the effects of progress logging and social feedback on goal completion. Results of an in-progress study suggest that both progress logging and social feedback had positive effects on goal completion. However, surprisingly, social feedback has no significant advantage over progress logging. Further, participants who gave and received social feedback had a higher level of annoyance toward the study. We discuss possible reasons for this and propose insights for adding social components to goal achievement systems.

A confluence of factors has enabled the explosion of technology startups worldwide. The global spread of seed accelerators, incubators which foster high-tech startups, are a major component of this. But little is known about how they are impacting the global technology landscape. Through fieldwork with accelerators in Southeast Asia and Latin America and broad-based research with other accelerators in developed and emerging markets, I propose to investigate the expansion of this Silicon Valley model of innovation, how it is transformed and implemented in other contexts, and the impact it has on the types of technologies created and the growth of ecosystems.

Patient-provider collaboration is considered crucial to successful patient care. However, while many cscw and health informatics studies have focused on collaborative care incorporating patient awareness in chronic care management, very little attention has been given to emergency care. I am conducting a qualitative study of patient care trajectories in an emergency department (ED), examining patient awareness, decision-making and patient-clinician interaction in an information-imbalanced environment, particularly in situations of information deprivation. My research will enrich understandings of collaborative care practices in a hospital setting and can inform extended designs of the current provider-centric, socio-technical systems to incorporate patient-provider collaboration.
In this paper, we present a comprehensive and in-depth study on convergence preservation and avoidance in Operational Transformation (OT) systems. In this study, we discovered basic conditions, transformation patterns...

My research interest is in the embodiment of community and personal values in knowledge organization systems. My dissertation research examines how classification workers make decisions in the context of conflicting user needs, author intent, and ethical implications. I am taking an ethnographic approach as a participant observer in a volunteer team of classification workers who create a "curated folksonomy" by linking together user-generated tags, and am planning interviews and comparison cases. By examining in detail the daily decisions made by classification workers, we can better understand the possibilities for the design of systems that embody values.
E-books are becoming ubiquitous. Whether or not they will eventually replace books or merely complement them, there is a concern that something important might be lost in moving from print to digital books. While ther...
