Exploring collaboration in challenging environments

We propose a daylong workshop at CSCW2012 on the topic collaboration in challenging and difficult environments, which are to our understanding all contexts, which go beyond traditional working/office settings topic. Examples for these environments can be the automotive context or the context of a semiconductor factory, which show very specific contextual conditions and therefore offer special research challenges: How to address all passengers in the car, not only the driver? How to explore operator tasks in a cleanroom? How could the long-term (social) collaboration of robots and humans be investigated in privacy critical environments?
