Contextual grounding in CVE design. (2002)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2002). Contextual grounding in CVE design. Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments, 14, 30-38

A proper respect for eventual context of use is crucially important for the success of virtual environments destined for real-world organisations, yet is frequently absent from accounts of the design of such applications. We describe how contextual... Read More about Contextual grounding in CVE design..

Embedding context of use in CVE design. (2002)
Journal Article
Turner, S., & Turner, P. (2002). Embedding context of use in CVE design. Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments, 11(6), 665-676. https://doi.org/10.1162/105474602321050767

A consideration of eventual context of use is crucially important for the success of virtual environments destined for real-world organizations, yet it is frequently absent from accounts of the design of such applications.

Extending the unified modelling language to model complex interactive timeline-based systems (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, I., Turner, P., & McGregor, I. (2002). Extending the unified modelling language to model complex interactive timeline-based systems. In H. Sharp, P. Chalk, J. LePeuple, & J. Rosbottom (Eds.), HCI 2002 (58-61)

The increased take-up of Interactive Television, 3G and broadband networks is effecting a growth in the use of interactive, timeline-based media. This paper will describe how to facilitate the design of linear narrative systems utilising the extensib...

An Affordance-based Framework for CVE Evaluation (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2002). An Affordance-based Framework for CVE Evaluation. In X. Faulkner, J. Finlay, & F. Détienne (Eds.), People and Computers XVI - Memorable Yet Invisible (89-103). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-0105-5_6

We argue that a conceptual framework is required to support the practical evaluation of collaborative virtual environments. We propose such a framework based on an extended, three level concept of affordance. The application of the framework is il... Read More about An Affordance-based Framework for CVE Evaluation.

An investigation into virtual representations of real places. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Arnspang, J., Benyon, D., Fahle, M., Granum, E., Madsen, C., Pajdla, T., …Weinshall, D. (2002). An investigation into virtual representations of real places. In Proc. Fifth Annual International Workshop on Presence (66-78)

The paper describes the main themes of a recently funded research project under the European Communitys Future and Emerging Technologies Presence initiative. The aim of the research is to develop new tools for empirical and theoretical studies of pre... Read More about An investigation into virtual representations of real places..

Telling Tales: Narratives Of Classification And Control In The Design Of Taxonomic Software. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, S., Turner, P., Raguenaud, C., & Kennedy, J. (2002). Telling Tales: Narratives Of Classification And Control In The Design Of Taxonomic Software. In Proceedings of Design Research Society Conference: Common Ground, September, 2002

This paper draws on concepts from the structuralist analysis of narrative to explore aspects of the role of stories in the small group design process. A brief review of relevant narratological concepts is provided. Their application in a preliminar...

An activity theoretic approach to surfacing evaluation issues. (2002)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2002). An activity theoretic approach to surfacing evaluation issues. Journal of applied systems studies : methodologies and applications for systems approaches, 3, 134-155

We introduce activity theory and the role of contradictions as a basis for making visible the structure and dynamics of work systems. Then, by way of a case study set in a national counter-fraud agency, we demonstrate how activity theory supports an... Read More about An activity theoretic approach to surfacing evaluation issues..

End-user perspectives on the uptake of computer supported cooperative working. (2002)
Journal Article
Turner, S., & Turner, P. (2002). End-user perspectives on the uptake of computer supported cooperative working. Journal of Organizational and End User Computing, 14, 3-15. https://doi.org/10.4018/joeuc.2002040101

Researchers in Information Systems have produced a rich collection of meta-analyses and models to further understanding of factors influencing the uptake of information technologies. In the domain of CSCW, however, these models have largely been negl... Read More about End-user perspectives on the uptake of computer supported cooperative working..
