========================================================================
Description
The workshop aims to help develop a richer understanding of issues
related to the analysis and design of infrastructures:
1) the concepts, issues and theories that can inform our analysis both
of the infrastructures themselves, and of the processes of
collaborative infrastructure design
2) the concepts, issues, theories and methods that can improve the
processes of doing collaborative infrastructure design.
The workshop will examine issues around the collaborative design and
use of information infrastructures through a collective sharing and
analysis of case studies. We welcome as position papers analyses on
empirical studies or descriptions of cases that the authors are
familiar with. The workshop approach will be a collaborative activity
involving a 'live metareview' over participants' case studies. That
is, the group will consider in turn a number of issues emerging from
the cases. For each issue we will discuss whether and how it manifests
in the particular infrastructure settings that each participant is
familiar with or has studied. This will enable the participants to
gain a richer understanding of the research space around
infrastructure design and use. Goals of the one-day workshop are: case
studies explored, key issues and special problematics identified, a
poster prepared for the conference poster session, a journal special
issue planned – and networking.

participants by invitation after July 3)
Position paper submission
Position papers are invited that include one or more case studies,
empirical research or at least some description of an infrastructure
setting that the authors are familiar with and can discuss at the
workshop. The position paper should also include some analysis of that
setting, including but not limited to how infrastructure work is
defined and how it is carried out.
Position papers will be published in a Special Issue of the
'International Reports on Socio-Informatics' (http://irsi.iisi.de/). A
further book publication is planned.
Length 4-8 pages. Formatting instructions for submissions are
available at http://infrastructuring.wineme.fb5.uni-siegen.de/
Submission of position papers: Position papers are to be submitted via
email (sara.eriksen@bth.se) by July 3, 2009.
Maximum number of participants: Approximately 15
