Maritime Design: A CSCW Territory?
It addresses interdisciplinary collaboration challenges in maritime design for CSCW researchers, but is incremental in applying existing sociological concepts.
The paper examines remote-control and autonomous vessels from a sociological viewpoint, arguing that CSCW researchers should adopt reflexive insider positions to bridge design and engineering gaps.
This paper focuses on remote-control and autonomous vessels from a sociological perspective. We report that if CSCW research aims to shed light on other disciplines, researchers should be reflexive insider that first position themselves in such disciplines. Through reflexive practice, CSCW researchers could connect communities of practice, thus narrowing the distance between design and engineering.
