With digital equipment becoming increasingly networked, either on wired or wireless networks, for personal and professional use alike, distributed software systems have become a crucial element in information and communications technologies. The study of these systems forms the core of the ARLES' work, which is specifically concerned with defining new system software architectures, based on the use of emerging networking technologies.

Zunachst geht es um ein Tiefeninterview und um interpretative Kommentare zu diesem Interview. In einem nachsten Schritt wird ein forschungsnahes Gedicht vorgestellt, das die exakte Sprache der Untersuchungspartnerin in verdichteter Form nutzt. Hiernach folgen zwei interpretative Gedichte, die der Bemuhung der Autorin und des Autors geschuldet sind, die Essenz der subjektiven Erfahrung der Untersuchungspartnerin in literarischer Form auf den Punkt zu bringen. Starken und Schwachen jeder dieser Vorgehensweisen werden skizziert, und Implikationen, die mit dem Einbezug von Gedichten und anderen kunstlerischen Ausdrucksformen in den Forschungsprozess verbunden sind, werden diskutiert.
