EC-CSCW U89 will be a multi-disciplinary forum for the
exchange of ideas and information on the use of
computers to support co-operative work. EC-CSCW U89
should be of interest to computer scientists, psychologists,
sociologists, anthropologists, education researchers,
human factors specialists, students of business or
management, and all who are interested as workers,
professionals or academics in how computers can be used
to enhance or transform co-operative work.
