Author Description

A collection of readings (all but one previously published) that comprises a tutorial for teachers, students, software engineers, and generalists in information systems and computer science who are interested in the emerging field of computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), which is concerned with bringing computing face-to-face with groups of people as they work. From this challenge comes "groupware," a kind of software that enhances cooperation, augments human capability, and supports distributed teams. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
