ABSTRACT
HCI had moved from considering how individuals interact with computers to thinking about how groups collaborate using technology. While there has been research focused on large-scale on-line communities, little attention has been paid to large groups of collocated assemblies, namely crowds. The evidence from social psychology and sociology suggest that the social dynamics and behaviours of crowds are distinct from those of smaller group formations. In this workshop we want to think about new opportunities for designing crowd-centric technologies and explore the factors that will shape interaction design for large scale crowd computing. The workshop will explore themes related to crowd-centric computing through hands-on crowd-based exercises, position papers and discussion.

Designing for crowds
NordiCHI '10: Proceedings of the 6th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Extending BoundariesDesigning for spectators and audiences presents new challenges to the design of technology. In this paper we focus our attention on understanding and designing for crowds as a distinct design topic. We present a study of one particular instance of crowd ...
Ubiquitous computer aided design
As a novel computational approach, ubiquitous computing was emerging at the beginning of the 1980s and has reached a rather mature level by now. It assumes that computing can be available anywhere, anytime and in any context due to technological ...
Modus Operandi of Crowd Workers: The Invisible Role of Microtask Work Environments
The ubiquity of the Internet and the widespread proliferation of electronic devices has resulted in flourishing microtask crowdsourcing marketplaces, such as Amazon MTurk. An aspect that has remained largely invisible in microtask crowdsourcing is that ...
