Description

Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is rapidly expanding the horizons of research on the relations between humans and computers. Presented in this book is a selection of studies which, between them, define and discuss many fundamental issues in CSCW. The book offers an overview of research alongside some new contributions which address key issues in the field and which have not previously been published.
