Groupware related task design

ABSTRACT

This report summarizes the results of a workshop on Groupware related task design which took place at the International Conference on Supporting Group Work Group'99, Arizona, from 14^th to 17^th November 1999.The workshop was addressed to people from different viewpoints, backgrounds, and domains:• Researchers dealing with questions of task analysis and task modeling for Groupware application from an academic point of view. They may contribute model-based design approaches or theoretically oriented work• Practitioners with experience in the design and everyday use of groupware systems. They might refer to the practical side of the topic: "real" tasks, "real" problems, "real" users, etc.
