November 4, 2007toNovember 7, 2007

GROUP ‘07 is about computer-based systems that have an impact on groups, organizations and social networks . It bridges the fields of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Information Systems (IS). GROUP ‘07 will cover the design, implementation, deployment, evaluation, and impact of these systems.

The keynote speaker will be Giorgio De Michelis, University of Milano - Bicocca, who will talk about:

Design of Interactive Systems (in frameworks like Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Ubiquitous and Mobile Computing, Community Systems, etc.) is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative activity where creativity, on one hand, and user experience, on the other hand, play a major role. We will discuss the concepts of object and thing in relation to the design process as a way to understand its complexity and its peculiarity with respect to its distinctive qualities and to the cooperation among designers and between designers and users. Even if it focuses on design of computer based systems, most of what will be said applies also to design in general.
