All Collaborative Work and Social Computing

Fields concerned with how groups of people work, communicate and solve problems together through computers. It covers software that supports cooperative work among distributed teams, the design and study of online social systems and communities, and approaches in which people perform the steps of a computation that machines cannot yet do well. A field belongs here when the group of people is the unit of study. It excludes the study of a single user at an interface, which belongs to interaction design.
