This volume constitutes the proceedings of the “Second
International Workshop on Cooperative Buildings (CoBuild’99) –
Integrating Information, Organizations, and Architecture” held at
the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh on October 1–2, 1999. The
success of the First International Workshop on Cooperative
Buildings (CoBuild'98), held at GMD in Darmstadt in February 1998,
showed that there is a demand for an appropriate forum to present
research about the intersection of information technology,
organizational innovation, and architecture. Thus, it was decided
to organize a follow-up event. The decision of where to organize
CoBuild’99 was straight forward. Since we had many high quality
contributions from the United States (U. S. ) presented at
CoBuild’98, we wanted to hold the second workshop in the U. S.
reaching out to a large audience and at the same time turning it
into an international series of events held in different places in
the world. Due to the excellent work carried out at Carnegie Mellon
University, it was an obvious choice to ask Volker Hartkopf from
the Department of Architecture and Jane Siegel from the Human
Computer Interaction Institute to be conference cochairs for
CoBuild’99. The workshop is organized in cooperation with the
German National Research Center for Information Technology (GMD),
in particular the Integrated Publication and Information Systems
Institute (IPSI) in Darmstadt providing continuity between the
events.
