论文摘要
黑客马拉松是时间限制的协作活动,在众多背景下,研究人员和从业人员都采用了一种全球现象。 Hackathon事件通常用于加快例如科学结果和协作,社区和创新的原型,以应对紧急挑战。由于黑客马拉松已经被采用到许多不同的情况下,因此这些事件也通过许多方式进行了调整,以对应于组织者,参与者和其他利益相关者的独特需求和情况。尽管这些跨学科的改编通常提供了许多优势 - 例如根据特定需求量身定制该格式,但它们还带来了某些挑战,特别是:1)最佳实践的交换有限,2)有限的研究结果交换和3)更大的高度问题需要跨学科协作,并未发现并保持婚姻状态。我们呼吁跨学科合作解决这些挑战。 As a first initiative towards this, we performed an interdisciplinary collaborative analysis in the context of a workshop at the Lorentz Center, Leiden in December 2021. In this paper, we present the results of this analysis in terms of six important areas which we envision to contribute to maturing hackathon research and practice: 1) hackathons for different purposes, 2) socio-technical event design, 3) scaling up, 4) making hackathons公平,5)研究黑客马拉松,6)黑客马拉松目标以及如何实现目标。我们以艺术和研究建议的状态介绍了这些领域,并通过建议推进黑客马拉松研究和实践所需的下一步步骤来结束本文。
Hackathons are time-bounded collaborative events which have become a global phenomenon adopted by both researchers and practitioners in a plethora of contexts. Hackathon events are generally used to accelerate the development of, for example, scientific results and collaborations, communities, and innovative prototypes addressing urgent challenges. As hackathons have been adopted into many different contexts, the events have also been adapted in numerous ways corresponding to the unique needs and situations of organizers, participants and other stakeholders. While these interdisciplinary adaptions, in general affords many advantages - such as tailoring the format to specific needs - they also entail certain challenges, specifically: 1) limited exchange of best practices, 2) limited exchange of research findings, and 3) larger overarching questions that require interdisciplinary collaboration are not discovered and remain unaddressed. We call for interdisciplinary collaborations to address these challenges. As a first initiative towards this, we performed an interdisciplinary collaborative analysis in the context of a workshop at the Lorentz Center, Leiden in December 2021. In this paper, we present the results of this analysis in terms of six important areas which we envision to contribute to maturing hackathon research and practice: 1) hackathons for different purposes, 2) socio-technical event design, 3) scaling up, 4) making hackathons equitable, 5) studying hackathons, and 6) hackathon goals and how to reach them. We present these areas in terms of the state of the art and research proposals and conclude the paper by suggesting next steps needed for advancing hackathon research and practice.
