--------------------------------------------------------------------

Abtract:

Ethnography is the output of anthropological study; literally it
means "writing people" or "writing culture" and it is usually a
detailed description of a particular people, organization or type of
work. What, you might ask, does this have to do with computer system
design?

For the past 30 years, methods from traditional anthropology have
been used to study people and their work and apply what is learned
to designing computer systems. This presentation describes these
methods and their application. We'll tell you how an Anthropologist
got started in the Smalltalk lab at Xerox PARC and how an engineer
got involved with anthropologists. We'll draw the connections to
certain European software communities (e.g., Kristen Nygaard and
Participatory Design), tell you about a few of our projects and what
we are doing now.

Our contention is that especially in an environment that emphasizes
agile, iterative approaches to software, observing technology in use
is an important capability that software system architects,
designers, and developers can use to insure successful design,
development and deployment.
