Abstract

Designing for collaboration approaches systems and users as a team and focuses on the cooperation between the two. This work in progress aims to delineate how designing for collaboration is also inherently designing for usability. It is proposed that designing for collaboration is theoretically more appropriate for building complex problem-solving applications, where the user and system are by definition co-information-processors.
