Schedule The workshop will consist of four sessions on the following topics: Foundations for Empirical Research Survey of Research Designs Ethnography Working with Industry & Communicating Results Each session will have a set of short paper presentations (5 mins each).  This will be followed by an invited guest speaker who will  address or discuss the issues raised in the papers in a 30 minute presentation.  Finally, each session will close with  a 30 minute discussion period which is open to all participants.
