The purpose of this workshop is threefold: first, to chart the diversity of algorithmic technologies as well as their application, appropriation, use and presence in work practices; second, to probe analytic vocabularies that account for empirical diversity; third, to discuss implications for design that come out of our understandings of algorithms and the technologies through which they are enacted. HOW TO PARTICIPATE We invite participants to submit a brief 1-4 page position papers with their bio in any format. Participants should email the papers at algorithms.cscw16@gmail.com Topics may include (but are not limited to): * Reflection on the current use of algorithms in many digital work platforms such as Uber, TaskRabbit, mTurk, Wikipedia and Upwork * The role of algorithms and algorithmic technologies in the workplace in all their guises * How workers engage in sense-making to understand algorithmic management * Types of new workplaces and work practices that algorithms enable * Challenges in building a work platforms mediated by algorithms * Analytic vocabularies for algorithms * Analysis of meanings that “algorithm” has taken on in CSCW and/or CHI research * Design studies or ideas for algorithms at work or technologies through which the algorithms are enacted and which enable effective use * Design principles that promote, rather than stile, worker agency in algorithmic workplace * Ethical issues for algorithms at work We welcome early research, as well as more developed analyses.
