Michael PrillaCSCW, especially interfaces and functionality for seamless and habitual interaction with IS

Alexander NolteBPM, CSCW, HCI, focus on collaborative modeling

Peter RittgenBPM, CSCW, Collaborative modeling, focus on end-user participation

Stefan OpplModels as instruments to facilitate externalization and negotiation of work understanding

RUBIdea & Scope

• Using models and visualizations can be considered a common practice in modern organizations

• Development, usage and maintenance of models requires the collaboration of various stakeholder

• While only few people are involved in their development, models affect the work of a lot of people

• Although they are produced with a lot of effort, they actual impact on people´s practice is mostly limited to experts

How to organize user involvement? How to increase usage of models in practice? How to sustain it?

RUBScope of the workshop

• Explore current research and approaches on the relationship(s) between models and collaboration– Collaborative modeling – Interacting with models (involvement, motivation)– Using models for coordination and collaboration

• Explore model usage in practice– Best-practices– Research on modeling and model usage

• Build a research agenda and follow-up actions on this workshop
