8:30 – 13:00: WS1: Implementing Electronic Health Records – Objectives, Obstacles, Outcomes (Smeraldo Room)

Gunnar Ellingsen (UiT Arctic University of Norway), Miria Grisot (University of Oslo), Morten Hertzum (Roskilde University) and Anna Sigridur Islind (Reykjavik University)

Website: https://mortenhertzum.dk/EHR2024.html

Abstract:
Electronic health records (EHRs) support healthcare professionals in their treatment of patients by providing the means to order, document, and follow up on the steps taken to care for each patient. To fulfil this function, EHRs are complex systems with numerous features and associated work processes. As a result, the implementation of EHRs in healthcare institutions is a major undertaking, which has received sustained attention in computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and other research fields. This workshop aims to provide a forum for participants to get updated on current CSCW studies of EHR implementations and create connections with a select group of researchers who study EHR implementations from a CSCW perspective. Within the overall theme of implementing EHRs, the workshop specifically focuses on the objectives, obstacles, and outcomes of such implementations. The key activities at the workshop will be presentation of the participants’ position papers and thematic group discussion.

10:00 – 16:00: WS3: Discomfort in the making of technologies: (re-) choreographing agency (Corallo room)

Kristina Popova (KTH Royal Institute of Technology), Joana Chicau (Creative Computing Institute at the University of the Arts London), Rebecca Fiebrink (Creative Computing Institute at the University of the Arts London), Rob Comber (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) and Clàudia Figueras (Stockholm University)

Website: https://cci.arts.ac.uk/~jchicau/ECSCW24-workshop/index.html

Abstract:
We invite CSCW scholars to collaboratively explore discomfort in the practices of technology design and production. As technology practitioners, we are often believed to have responsibility for the development of technology, yet building of technology is always a collective enterprise. We are inviting the workshop participants to explore the collective, embodied, experiential and ecological nature of technology production with the help of choreography-inspired techniques. The first part of the workshop will be devoted to the sharing of participants’ submissions. In the second part, with the help of body-based exercises, we will articulate the discomforts of building and researching technology in the age of surveillance capitalism. The main workshop goal is to facilitate community building among the tech practitioners and researchers, who share the experience of discomfort around topics such as ecological crisis, post-colonialism, and social (in)justice. Our second goal is to explore the limits of individual responsibility in small and large scale technology production. Our third goal is to create a shared data base of methodologies of exploring discomfort and, more broadly, the embodied nature of technology.

9:00 – 18:30: WS5: Practices of Participation and Co-Creation in Healthcare: Lessons Learned and Advancements of Established Methodologies (Rubino Room)

Tim Weiler (IT for the Ageing Society, University of Siegen), Babak Farshchian (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Sourav Bhattacharjee (IT for the Ageing Society, University of Siegen), Claudia Mueller (IT for the Ageing Society, University of Siegen) and Stefan Hochwarter (JOANNEUM RESEARCH Forschungsgesellschaft mbH)

Website: https://stfnh.github.io/ecscw2024-ws5/

Abstract:
Participatory research in the health sector is fraught with obstacles. In particular, choosing appropriate methods to involve the heterogeneous stakeholders in the health system can be difficult. Not only are time constraints and hierarchies between professional (and non-professional) healthcare actors a challenge, but also dealing with patients who may have different physical and psychological limitations. Accordingly, not all qualitative methods are applicable to all stakeholder groups. Limitations such as speech or visual impairments can make it difficult to participate in focus groups or design workshops. In this workshop we will discuss experiences with participatory methods in the health sector and explore how established methods can be made more inclusive so that they can be adapted to a wide range of stakeholders.

14:00 – 18:30: WS6: Conducting Interdisciplinary Research with Vulnerable Populations in Computing: Challenges, Practices, and Lessons Learned (Smeraldo Room)

Juan F. Maestre (Swansea University), Caroline Claisse (Open Lab, Newcastle University), Angelika Strohmayer (Northumbria University), Mark Warner (University College London), Abigail Durrant (Open Lab, Newcastle University), Sarah Wydall (Swansea University) and Deborah Jones (Swansea University)

Website: https://sites.google.com/view/ecscw2024workshop/home

Abstract:
The need for interdisciplinary approaches has become a necessity in Computer Science (CS) research. This is particularly the case with research involving the design and development of technologies that can have a significant impact on the wellbeing of people who are deemed vulnerable (e.g., those living with stigmatized conditions or identities). However, in most cases, interdisciplinary research collaborations in CS fail to include experts from key areas whose knowledge and perspectives could benefit the end users and make the technology design process more ethical. In response, we propose a workshop bringing together researchers and practitioners from CS and the Social and Health Sciences to discuss the challenges, practices, and lessons learned regarding such interdisciplinary research collaborations in the context of technology design with and for vulnerable groups. The outcomes of the workshop would provide insights on how to conduct this type of research more effectively and ethically.

8:30 – 13:00: MC1: The practice-centered research program in CSCW (Diamante Room)

Kjeld Schmidt
Copenhagen Business School, Denmark & University of Siegen, Germany

Abstract:
As a research area, CSCW was formed in response to the early development and use of collaboration technologies, as researchers from different disciplines and in different practical domains began to try to understand the potentials and issues of these new technologies. Accordingly, CSCW was from the outset a rather heterogeneous research area, spanning not only computer science and social science but also a manifold of distinctly different research paradigms. In important ways, CSCW is still characterized by such heterogeneity, not least because the challenges emerging from new collaborative technologies give rise to new potentials and issues, but also because collaborative technologies become applied in new work domains and use contexts. At the same time, however, in the midst of this persistent heterogeneity, a research program has been articulated and developed that attempts to build, from the bottom up, a conceptual framework for our understand of the design and use of collaboration technologies in actual work practices.
Based on an initial overview of the emergence and history of the CSCW research areas, the master class will focus on outlining the practice-centered research program in CSCW:

  1. The unit of analysis of CSCW research: coordinative practices and artifacts.
  2. The key challenge CSCW research: The problematic nature of collaborative
    technology: the problematic nature of constructing and embeddng models of
    social relations in computational artifacts.
  3. The analytic axis of CSCW research: The notion of ‘plans and situated action’
    or ‘theory and practice’.
14:00 – 18:30: MC2: Beyond Charts & Graphs: creating Data Visualizations to enhance knowledge (Diamante Room)

Chiara Ceccarini
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
University of Bologna

Abstract:
In an era characterized by a continual increase in the volume of information and data from diverse sources and presented in various formats, the challenge of effectively representing them and enabling users to derive meaningful insights becomes relevant. This underscores the growing significance of Data Visualization, defined as the systematic representation of data to convey information clearly and impactfully, leveraging human cognitive abilities. The objective is to create a valuable decision-making tool, spotlighting patterns or anomalies within the data. Moreover, Data Visualization enhances data processing in the human brain more efficiently than textual information, fostering comprehension of heterogeneous and large data sets, improving collaboration, and providing an adept ad-hoc data analysis tool.
This masterclass aims to empower participants with the skills and insights necessary for creating visualization. Focusing on the principles of data visualization, participants will explore diverse techniques to transform information into data representations, combining theoretical lessons with hands-on group activities.
The theoretical sessions cover the fundamentals, techniques, and best practices in data visualization, allowing participants to gain a solid understanding of the field. Complementing the theoretical aspect, practical group activities offer participants the chance to apply learned concepts in real-world scenarios and foster teamwork.

8:30 – 13:00: WS2: Future of Home-living: Designing Smart Spaces for Modern Domestic Life (Rubino Room)

Fatemeh Alizadeh (University of Siegen), Dave Randall (University of Siegen), Peter Tolmie (University of Siegen), Minha Lee (Eindhoven University of Technology), Yuhui Xu (Eindhoven University of Technology), Sarah Mennicken (DREI Solutions), Mikołaj P. Woźniak (University of Oldenburg), Dennis Paul (Fraunhofer Institute) and Dominik Pins (Fraunhofer Institute)

Website: https://samsmart.de/en/ecscw-2024-workshop/

Abstract:
The evolution of smart home technologies, particularly agentic ones such as conversational agents, robots, and virtual avatars, is reshaping our understanding of home and domestic life. This shift highlights the complexities of modern domestic life, with the household landscape now featuring diverse cohabiting units like co-housing and communal living arrangements. These agentic technologies present specific design challenges and opportunities as they become integrated into everyday routines and activities. Our workshop envisions smart homes as dynamic, user-shaped spaces, focusing on the integration of these technologies into daily life. We aim to explore how these technologies transform household dynamics, especially through boundary fluidity, by uniting researchers and practitioners from fields such as design, sociology, and ethnography. Together, we will develop a design framework that responds to the changing nature and boundaries of contemporary living arrangements.

8:30 – 18:30: WS4: Working with data: collecting, analyzing and using traces of work activities (Smeraldo Room)

Christophe Chassot (LAAS-CNRS, INSA Toulouse), Caroline Datchary (LISST, Toulouse Jean Jaurès University), Sylvie Grosjean (University of Ottawa), Myriam Lewkowicz (LIST3N/Tech-CICO, Troyes University of Technology), Samir Medjiah (LAAS-CNRS, Paul Sabatier University – Toulouse 3) and Claudia Müller (University of Siegen)

Website: https://www.vertuose-project.org/ECSCW24-Workshop

Abstract:
The digitization of work has expanded the possibility of collecting traces of activities, and AI techniques are now expanding the potential for analyzing this large amount of data. This phenomenon is mostly associated with forms of control and evaluation of worker’s activities, thus generating forms of resistance. It is therefore important to think about ways of collecting and processing this data that could improve the quality of life at work, by tackling information, cognitive, or communication overload. Indeed, this data could be used to improve deliberation in organizations, by providing digital representations of the activity that is not easy to grasp in day-to-day professional work.
The objective of this workshop is to gather researchers interested in discussing how data could be collected, analyzed, and discussed to improve the quality of life at work: which data? Which methods for its collection and its analysis? Under which conditions?

14:00 – 18:30: WS7: Multispecies Urbanism: Blueprint on the Methodological Future of Inclusive Smart City Design (Corallo Room)

Tanja Aal (University of Siegen), Laura Scheepmaker (Saxion University of Applied Sciences), Alicia Julia Wilson Takaoka (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Doug Schuler (The Evergreen State College), Alan H. Borning (University of Washington), Claudia Müller (University of Siegen) and Konstantin Aal (University of Siegen)

Website: https://just-city.pubpub.org/?breakCache=1712160741

Abstract:
The incorporation of digital infrastructure has become increasingly important in Smart Cities. Inclusive Smart City design requires an intersectional approach that engages human and non-human actors. While in academia inclusive design and socio-technical methods are emerging, Smart City practitioners lack universally accessible collections of methods applicable for diverse target groups. This workshop examines creative, qualitative and participatory methods with practitioners and researchers for inclusive design of Smart Cities that consider the needs and preferences of vulnerable target groups such as older adults, wildlife, and nature. A participatory approach is applied, taking into account the multidisciplinary complex work context of practitioners, e.g., representatives of municipalities. This workshop is the third of a series of workshops against this theme and closes the circle of different relevant stakeholders (researchers, vulnerable target groups, practitioners), resulting into a collection of inclusive, participatory methods which are made accessible to Smart City practitioners in an online toolbox.

14:00 – 18:30: WS8: Infrastructure and Creativity: Can they co-exist? (Rubino Room)

Michaela Schmidt (Norwegian University of Technology and Science), Monica Divitini (Norwegian University of Technology and Science), Christine Hohenbüchler (TU Wien), Nora Ringdal (Norwegian University of Technology and Science), Theresa Schütz (TU Wien) and Hilda Tellioglu (TU Wien)

Abstract:
With this workshop, we aim to provide a forum for participants populated by researchers, artists, and practitioners to share their experiences with creativity in
infrastructures and infrastructures in creativity. The goal is to learn from different approaches and perspectives. We focus on reflecting on key issues based on CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work), PD (Participatory Design), and IxD (Interaction Design) concepts and approaches regarding facilitating creativity. It should act as a seed for further exchange of ideas and cross-community fertilization. After briefly introducing state-of-the-art creativity and infrastructures, different approaches connected with supporting practices of being creative in given infrastructures and re/shaping infrastructures to facilitate creativity in processes will be examined and evaluated in group discussions by informing the presented practices with theories and concepts from CSCW, PD, IxD and creativity research.

From Human-Human Collaboration to Human-AI Collaboration

Human-Centered AI (HCAI) refers to the research effort that aims to design and implement AI techniques to support various human tasks, while taking human needs into consideration and preserving human control. Prior work has focused on human-AI interaction interface design and explainable AI research (XAI). However, despite these fruitful research results, why do many so-called “human-centered” AI systems still fail in the real world? In this talk, I will discuss the human-AI interaction paradigm, and show how we can learn from human-human collaboration to design and build AI systems that lead to a successful interaction paradigm, especially in this LLM era. This work serves as a cornerstone towards the ultimate goal of human-AI collaboration, where AI and humans can take complementary and indispensable roles to achieve a better outcome and experience.

The case for a practice-centred approach to cultural heritage technologies

Museums and cultural heritage sites have been a fertile research ground tor CSCW and HCI research, often complementing curatorial and interpretation strategies involving digital technologies that have developed within the heritage sector. Historically, cultural heritage has been an important domain to be studied within CSCW and HCI from the point or view of challenging assumptions with notions of “use”, “user” and “interaction” around technology, and of adopting a situated design approach, although in recent years attention to this domain (particularly within CSCW) has decreased. Reflecting on issues at both domain-specific and disciplinary levels, this talk will make the case for a practice-centred approach to research on cultural heritage technologies, arguing for the need to keep developing in-depth understandings of how heritage and the (present and future) technologies that facilitate encountering it become part of people’s lives. Examples from past and current projects in the heritage domain will be used to Illustrate and reflect on evolving processes or technology design involving “users”, “participants and “co-creators” in a socially-situated and materially entangled way. A practice-centred approach will also be argued as contributing to current critical heritage discourse, and as a way to examine influential technological trends such as Al and their application for cultural heritage interpretation.
