  • Collaboration, Coordination, and Computer Support
    Collaboration, Coordination, and Computer Support An Activity Theoretical Approach to the Design of Computer Supported Cooperative Work Jacob E. Bardram Ph.D. thesis Aarhus May 1998 Summary The present thesis presents a theoretical foundation for the design of Com- puter Support for Cooperative Work (CSCW). Background This thesis reports on work done within the Industrial Research Educa- tion (EF 577) established between the University of Aarhus, Kommunedata (KMD), and the University Hospital of Aarhus. The initial focus of the project was to investigate ways of supporting the extensive cooperation tak- ing place within a hospital. Objectives The theoretical objective of this work is to apply activity theory as a the- oretical foundation for CSCW research and to focus on the issue of design within CSCW. Furthermore, the applicable and developmental objectives of the Industrial Research project are to provide design principles as well as de- sign methods for the development of computer support for coordination and cooperation within hospitals. These principles and methods can be applied at KMD in other software development projects. i Methods The methodological basis for this project lies within the Participatory Design approach, as developed in Scandinavia. The methods applied within this project have been empirical, experimental, and theoretical. The empirical work has taken place within several hospitals in Denmark and has applied different qualitative methods, such as interviews and ethnographic workplace studies. The experimental work involves software design and construction, which has been developed and evaluated through extensive prototyping. The theoretical work includes literature studies of related work and investigation of activity theory as a possible candidate for CSCW research.
