These technologies are often designed to provide access to people or collect (and thus make available) potentially-sensitive information about participants. In this panel, we will present general issues of privacy, especially with respect to social control and technology use. We will look at both commercial and research technologies as a means of discussing their specific impacts on privacy. A focus of the panel will be to grapple with the question of how we go from understanding the issues of privacy to taking action in our own research, development, and use of CSCW technologies. ------------------------------------------------------------- Evening C O N F E R E N C E R E C E P T I O N Royal Ontario Museum. ************************************************************* T U E S D A Y N O V E M B E R 3 , 1 9 9 2 ************************************************************* 9:00-10:30 P A P E R S Ethnographically-informed design Chair: Lucy Suchman--Xerox PARC Faltering from ethnography to design John A.

Kraut--Bellcore ------------------------------------------------------------- 11:00-12:30 P A N E L CSCW and the paradox of stalled productivity Moderator: Sara Kiesler--Carnegie-Mellon University Studies of the productivity payoffs of computer-based technologies have generally failed to find significant improvements for organizations. A paradox exists because computers and systems that are known to improve performance of individuals or jobs don't show organizational productivity payoffs. Many experts believe the paradox arises from the way individuals and jobs are linked to make a productive organization. Is CSCW╨-as a set of linkage technologies╨-a solution to the paradox? Some think so. Others argue that CSCW will simply add more noise or even hurt productivity further by, for example, adding costs to management of information. In this panel we will air the evidence for the paradox and discuss how CSCW will╨-or will not╨-solve it.
