Title: "What is the Place of Computer Science Research in CSCL?"

Day: Friday, June 3, 2005

Time: 15:30-17:00

Location: Auditorium

Chair: Pierre Tchounikine

Panelists: Andreas Harrer, Naomi Miyake, Hiroaki Ogata, Daniel Suthers

Abstract:
CSCL is a pluridisciplinary domain. Computer science is one of the concerned disciplines and many researchers in CSCL have a background in computer science. Computer science is however both a technical and conceptual discipline and the role of computer science within CSCL research can be seen from different perspectives. As a consequence, what corresponds to computer-science engineering and technical issues and what corresponds to computer-science research issues is often unclear. Clarifying this question is an important issue for both the CSCL domain and the computer science researchers who work or intend to work in the CSCL domain.

The objective of the panel is to make the role of computer science research (as opposed to technical issues) in CSCL clearer.
