The second Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW '88) was held September 26--28, 1988, in Portland, Oregon. This was a conference on how groups work and how technology (especially computers) can help them work. The term "CSCW" refers to this new multi--disciplinary field, which draws on the expertise and collaboration of many different specialists, including social scientists, anthropologists, and computer scientists. "Groupware" is another popular word for CSCW technology.
