This special issue focuses on socially embedded collaborative practices indifferent domains, based on the 9th International COOP Conference, which tookplace in Aix-en-Provence in May, 2010 and was documented in the conferenceproceedings (Lewkowicz et al. 2010).We present four case studies on the support of collaborative technologies forsocially relevant tasks in the elds of healthcare, political engagement, science,and open source software development: software development of IT systems inthe healthcare sector (Federico Cabitza), the use of collaborative technology bysocial movements (Saqib Saeed, Markus Rohde, and Volker Wulf), the use oftechnology and artefacts in archaeology (Marco Locatelli, Carla Simone, andViviana Ardesia), and the use of the Eclipse development platform amongsoftware engineers (Gunnar Stevens and Sebastian Draxler).

Schmidt’s contribution reects on conceptual issues as well as thesocio-economic status of “work” and warns CSCW scholars against abandoningthe discipline’s central research focus. The issues raised in this position paper,together with issues raised by Schmidt at ECSCW 2009 (Schmidt, 2009), ledMyriam Lewkowicz and Volker Wulf, the scientic chairs of COOP 2010, to
