Voida, Amy and Greenberg, Saul (2009): Wii all play: the console game as a computational meeting place. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2009 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2009. pp. 1559-1568. Available online
“In this paper, we present results from a qualitative study of collocated group console gaming. We focus on motivations for, perceptions of, and practices surrounding the shared use of console games by a variety of established groups of gamers. These groups include both intragenerational groups of youth, adults, and elders as well as intergenerational families. Our analysis highlights the numerous ways that console games serve as a computational meeting place for a diverse population of gamers.”

Voida, Amy, Voida, Stephen, Greenberg, Saul and He, Helen Ai (2008): Asymmetry in media spaces. In: Proceedings of ACM CSCW08 Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work 2008. pp. 313-322. Available online
“In any collaborative system, there are both symmetries and asymmetries present in the design of the technology and in the ways that technology is appropriated. Yet media space research tends to focus more on supporting and fostering the symmetries than the asymmetries. Throughout more than 20 years of media space research, the pursuit of increased symmetry, whether achieved through technical or social means, has been a recurrent theme. The research literature on the use of contemporary awareness systems, in contrast, displays little if any of this emphasis on symmetrical use; indeed, this body of research occasionally highlights the perceived value of asymmetry. In this paper, we unpack the different forms of asymmetry present in both media spaces and contemporary awareness systems. We argue that just as asymmetry has been demonstrated to have value in contemporary awareness systems, so might asymmetry have value in media spaces and in other CSCW systems, more generally. To illustrate, we present a media space that emphasizes and embodies multiple forms of asymmetry and does so in response to the needs of a particular work context.”

Goecks, Jeremy, Voida, Amy, Voida, Stephen and Mynatt, Elizabeth D. (2008): Charitable technologies: opportunities for collaborative computing in nonprofit fundraising. In: Proceedings of ACM CSCW08 Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work 2008. pp. 689-698. Available online
“This paper presents research analyzing the role of computational technology in the domain of nonprofit fundraising. Nonprofits are a cornerstone of many societies and are especially prominent in the United States, where $295 billion, or slightly more than 2% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (i.e. total national revenue), was directed toward charitable causes in 2006. Nonprofits afford many worthwhile endeavors, including crisis relief, basic services to those in need, public education and the arts, and preservation of the natural environment. In this paper, we identify six roles that computational technology plays in support of nonprofit fundraising and present two models characterizing technology use in this domain: (1) a cycle of technology-assisted fundraising and (2) a model of relationships among stakeholders in technology-assisted fundraising. Finally, we identify challenges and research opportunities for collaborative computing in the unique and exciting nonprofit fundraising domain.”

Voida, Amy and Mynatt, Elizabeth D. (2006): Challenges in the analysis of multimodal messaging. In: Proceedings of ACM CSCW06 Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work 2006. pp. 427-430. Available online
“New forms of computer-mediated communication are increasingly multimodal, providing capabilities for communicating with some combination of text, image, audio, and video. In this paper, we point to the need to develop better methods for studying multimodal communication -- more specifically, for studying the communicative role of and relationships among differentnmodalities within their increasingly complex, multimodal semiotic landscapes. We present two challenges in the analysis of multimodal communication, point of view and unit of analysis, both encountered in the context of our study of the use of photo-enhanced instant messaging.”

Voida, Amy and Mynatt, Elizabeth D. (2005): Six themes of the communicative appropriation of photographic images. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2005 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2005. pp. 171-180. Available online
“In this paper, we explore the use of digital photographs in computer-mediated communication. We present Lascaux, an instant messaging client that serves as a research platform for studying visual communication with digital photographs. Through a combined analysis of the uses of images in Lascaux as well as the uses of images in other communicative contexts, we arrived at six themes of appropriation: the image as amplification, the image as narrative, the image as awareness, the image as local expression, the image as invitation, and the image as object/instrument. For each theme, we explore the ways in which a medium may be designed to support that class of appropriation. Finally, we reflect on the relationship between literacy, mastery, and appropriation.”

Voida, Amy, Grinter, Rebecca E., Ducheneaut, Nicolas, Edwards, W. Keith and Newman, Mark W. (2005): Listening in: practices surrounding iTunes music sharing. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2005 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2005. pp. 191-200. Available online
“This paper presents a descriptive account of the social practices surrounding the iTunes music sharing of 13 participants in one organizational setting. Specifically, we characterize adoption, critical mass, and privacy; impression management and access control; the musical impressions of others that are created as a result of music sharing; the ways in which participants attempted to make sense of the dynamic system; and implications of the overlaid technical, musical, and corporate topologies. We interleave design implications throughout our results and relate those results to broader themes in a music sharing design space.”

“Current research in domestic technology focuses on a subset of the breadth of values that may be present in the domestic environment. In this paper, we present one possible method for conveying a larger potential breadth of user values between families and designers. We describe the ways that we tailored cultural probes specifically for values elicitation as well as the results of both families' and designers' interactions with the probes. We also draw from the social psychology research of Milton Rokeach, whose framework for values was used to scaffold designers in foregrounding user values in domestic design.”
