Flor, Nick V. (1998): Side-by-Side Collaboration: A Case Study. In International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 49 (3) pp. 201-222

“I analyse the discourse and cross-workspace information movement between two collaborators working side by side on a maintenance task. The analysis revealed four mutually constraining representations: task, system structure, modifications and system behavior. Side-by-side collaborators push or pull information across workspaces in an attempt to ground common representations of these four structures. Although the representations collaborators actually create vary with the type of collaborative endeavor, pushing and pulling information across workspaces is a general collaborative activity. I end by discussing ways in which the push/pull conception of collaboration can be used to inform the design of effective remote collaboration tools.”

(eds.) Empirical Studies of Programmers - Fifth Workshop December 3-15, 1993, 1993, Palo Alto, California. p. 223.

“The complexity and enormity of most computer programming tasks suggests that their successful completion by software teams requires not only careful design but also careful planning of both the work organizations and the coordination of results for the various programming subtasks. The goal of this paper is to show that useful work can be accomplished by individual-centered work organizations acting in the best interests of their own tasks and reacting opportunistically to useful information in other work organizations. The activities of a pair of programmers working on a software maintenance task will be analyzed in detail. It will be argued that what looks on the surface like planned collaboration between the programmers is actually the consequence of a dynamic organizational process. Concurrent with the analysis conducted, the elements of this process will be identified and their potential role in shaping the construction of new work organizations will be discussed.”

“ Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience. ”

-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996 ”
