Workshop 4: The Role of Artefacts in Social Coordination
Organisers: Lise Arena, Bernard Conein and Alain Giboin

Social Science has long contributed to inform the design of cooperative (or CSCW) systems. Social scientists helped to identify, specify, explain and model the different types of group activities meant to be assisted by these systems; provided a better understanding of coordination activities and analysed artefacts mediating these activities. Accordingly, various studies have thus focused on the role of artefacts in social coordination. This workshop seeks to gather both social scientists and computer scientists as well as practitioners. Its goal is twofold: first and in an interdisciplinary perspective, it aims to review contributions in social science that have informed or that could inform the design of cooperative systems about the role of artefacts in coordination. Second, its purpose is to provide a better understanding of the role of artefacts in coordination at different levels or scales (micro, meso and macro) and analysed with different methods.
