In 1984 Irene Greif and Paul Cashman coined the acronym CSCW for an invited workshop focused on understanding and supporting collaboration. Technology capable of supporting a group of people was so expensive that workplace deployment was the sole focus. A major topic was email, which in 1984 was poorly designed, not interoperable across different platforms, and used primarily by researchers.

INTEROPERABILITY IN A · GROUP’S KNOWLEDGE WORKSHOP · Suppose that you and a colleague each have a fully integrated · CSPW domain, comprised of nicely interoperable sub-domains as ·

3 weeks ago - These parallels allow CSCW research to inform future design patterns or assist in the development of entirely new tools. Computer supported cooperative work includes "all contexts in which technology is used to mediate human activities such as communication, coordination, cooperation, competition, entertainment, games, art, and music". The development of this field reaches back to the late 1960s and the visionary assertions of Ted Nelson, Douglas Engelbart...

In a 1990 article presented at the Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, Douglas Engelbart makes the following statements: ”The purpose of interoperability is to avoid having information islands between which information cannot flow effectively.
