From the Publisher:
The "great divide" between the approaches of systems developers and those of social scientists to computer supported cooperative work has been vigorously debated in the systems development literature. In spite of their differences in style, the two groups have been cooperating more and more in the last decade, as the "people problems" associated with computing become increasingly evident to everyone. This book is the first to address directly the problem of how to bridge the divide. It offers an exciting overview of the cutting edge of research and theory, and will constitute a solid foundation for the rapidly coalescing field of social informatics.

Computational Social Science: Exciting Progress and Future Challenges
KDD '16: Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data MiningThe past 15 years have witnessed a remarkable increase in both the scale and scope of social and behavioral data available to researchers, leading some to herald the emergence of a new field: "computational social science." Against these exciting ...
An investigation of social loafing and social compensation in computer-supported cooperative work
GROUP '99: Proceedings of the 1999 ACM International Conference on Supporting Group WorkThe effects of computer-mediated communication on social loafing in brainstorming tasks and social compensation in decision-making tasks are examined. In the first experiment, subjects performed a brainstorming task in either nominal, face-to-face or ...
