2. Collaboration 1: Literature and Computer Science A CompSci-based method for understanding experience of computer systems Joint execution of the method, sense-making of the results Two focus groups and a sense-making meta- analysis phase © University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre 2014

3. Collaboration 2: Law and Computer Science Arranging a panel about location technologies Misunderstanding about what is meant by a ‘panel’ –how long panellists speak –how much time is open to the audience © University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre 2014

4. Collaboration 3: Learning and Computer Science Analysis of a corpus of data from an instrumented kitchen Work to understand each other and methods –Conversation Analysis technique (identify and understand exchanges between participants) –TAMS Analyzer (assign codes to transcribed text) © University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre 2014

5. Success factors Established shared context (conference series or history of collaboration with that discipline) –Helped ‘literature’ collaboration Strong communication (expectation setting; definition of outcomes; co-location?) –Lack of this hindered ‘law’ collaboration; its presence helped ‘learning’ collaboration Closeness of shared context between disciplines? –CompSci and NetSci easier than NetSci and Art? Typology of collaborations? –Organising an event versus running an experiment or analysing data? © University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre 2014
