Previous workshops examined how individual users adopt and adapt technologies to meet local needs, “completing design through use.” However, there has been little systematic study of how groups engage collaboratively in these activities. This workshop opens a discussion for these forms of collaborative appropriation, including field studies, design explorations, theoretical accounts, and critical reflections.   We invite submissions addressing the following and other topics in collaborative appropriation: Practical experiences in design for collaborative appropriation Flexible, open design and tailorability as support for collaborative appropriation Design goals, guidelines, and principles for collaborative appropriation Major drivers to design for collaborative appropriation Emergent roles (actors) in collaborative appropriation practices Characterization and differentiation of collaborative appropriation between couples, teams, groups, and communities Lessons learned from other design movements and research domains to inform the design for collaborative appropriation
