system development in working-life contexts.
Work life informatics as a research area includes:
-
the role of computerized systems in altering work,

power relationships,
-
and organizational practices,
-
how people and organizations use systems in practice,
-
how system designers translate people's preferences into
requirements,

the functioning of software development teams in practice,
-
the conditions that foster and impede the implementation
of computerized systems within organizations.
Within the MDA group, activities at the Department of Computer
and Information Science and the Medical Faculty have been coordinated to
develop and evaluate experimental information systems. Since the formation
of the group in1988 the actual research has been directed
towards four interdisciplinary areas;
-
