  Abstract = 	 "Being adoption-centric means focusing research on
                  what technologies would be helpful to real users and
                  trying to ensure that the results are more likely to
                  be adopted. Too little is known about how to improve
                  adoptability. This paper describes preliminary steps
                  towards a framework for understanding methods for
                  injecting innovations in a way that makes the
                  results more likely to be adopted. The framework
                  defines taxonomy of adaptations that tools and users
                  undergo in the face of innovations. It then employs
                  theories of distributed cognition to suggest which
                  potential adaptations would be considered
                  potentially desirable to users because they
                  preserve, leverage, or add cognitive supports. An
                  example is given illustrating how this framework is
                  being used in exploratory design.",
