Table 1: The research direction proposed in this paper is based on evidence from ethnographic studies on health needs and a series of concept feedback studies.

"... In PAGE 11: ... Tools are needed, therefore, with a battery of potentially valuable sensors ubiquitously installed to provide data for exploratory identification of the most prom- ising marker strategies. 6 Conclusion The embedded assessment approach emerged from the series of needs gathering and concept feedback studies and interviews involving a total of 171 people, as listed in Table1 . The general approach of embedded assessment arose as a means of resolving conflicting attitudes about early detection.... ..."

Table 2 Number of papers scanned. A comparison between the three years shows some interesting trends. From Figure 1 we see that the number of papers presenting action research projects is decreasing, whereas papers employing an ethnographic approach are increasing. Both approaches imply prolonged engagement and participatory techniques for data collection, but the ethnographic approach does not necessarily mean that specific organisational problems are solved. The researcher is rather an observer and commentator of a phenomenon. We may also note that the number of papers employing a combination of interviews and document studies has increased and in 2004 there were actually more such papers than pure interview studies.
"... In PAGE 7: ... That is, the focus is not on the discussion on research methods in IS as pursued in this type of track. In all, 467 papers were scanned ( Table2 ). Most of these had an explicit record of the research method employed and were thus quite easy to classify.... In PAGE 8: ...Figure 1 The distribution of papers according to research approach, a comparison over three conferences. The number of QUANT studies shows a slight increase in number (Figure 1) but the proportion is relatively stable ( Table2 ). From Table 2 we also see that the proportion of INT+DOC studies has increased its proportion.... ..."

"... In PAGE 9: ... In addition, ethnographic observation, participatory design, and scenario-based design are also being streamlined (Schuler 1993). Table5 summarizes the empirical methods and their strengths and weaknesses.

Table 1. Demographic information of high schools studied
"... In PAGE 51: ... Through this process patterns of behaviors could then be identified to how principals influence change. Overview Ethnographic research w as conducted in four suburban high schools to examine how principals influence change (see demographic information in Table1 ). Principals and department chairpersons from each school site were interviewed to examine school culture.... ..."
Table 1. Implications of each communicative dimension for the design of communication-inhibiting and communica- tion-supporting end-user environments
"... In PAGE 5: ... In particular, decisions made along the dimen- sions can lead to end-user environments that more or less support human communication. Table1 identifies the ex- tremes of the design space circumscribed by the dimen- sions. For each dimension, the table lists the correspond- ing design implication for both communication-inhibiting and communication-supporting end-user environments.... In PAGE 5: ... For each dimension, the table lists the correspond- ing design implication for both communication-inhibiting and communication-supporting end-user environments. The design implications listed in Table1 are admit- tedly high-level and imprecise. Indeed, the next question to ask is, To what specific design features might commu- nication-supporting and communication-inhibiting deci- sions along the dimensions lead? To answer this question, Table 2 grounds the design implications of Table 1 in con- crete design features of two markedly different end-user environments for algorithm visualization: (a) SAMBA [8], the end-user environment used by students in our first ethnographic study (see Section 2....

Table 2. Multi-level approach to workplace studies.
2002
"... In PAGE 7: ... This addresses the widely recognized problem of ethnographic approaches that, while they can provide an understanding of current work practices, they are not intended to explore the consequences of socio-technical change. Table2 shows a multi-level structure for workplace studies, with level 1 consisting of a survey of the existing organizational structures and schedules, levels 2 and 3 providing an analysis of situated practices and interactions of those for whom the technology is intended, and level 4 offering a synthesis of the findings in terms of designs for new socio-technical systems. The four levels of the approach give an overview of workplace activity leading to more detailed investigation of particular problem areas, with each level illuminating the situated practices, and also providing a set of issues to be addressed for the next level.... ..."
