CSCW 2020 Lasting Impact Award

The CSCW Lasting Impact Award recognizes a paper published at the CSCW conference at least 10 years ago that has been extremely influential since its publication. This year, the award goes to Stacey D. Scott, M. Sheelagh T. Carpendale, and Kori Inkpen for their CSCW 2004 paper “Territoriality in collaborative tabletop workspaces.” This work has proven integral to understanding how people collaborate around large, shared displays and served as a catalyst in shifting towards the design of interactive surfaces and spaces. It has also been applied universally to the design of collaborative systems, including application areas like education, knowledge work, and games, and more broadly as a theoretical framework in which to ground fundamental HCI research. This session will include discussion of the significance of this paper for CSCW, and reflection from and Q&A with the authors. - Jim Wallace, University of Waterloo (Discussant) - Casey Fiesler, University of Colorado Boulder (Moderator)
