Research interests
Dr Shen's research investigates how collaborative activities and their coordination can be supported by means of groupware systems and in general how people network, communicate, and share through social software systems. These systems span a variety of platforms and environments including cloud, distributed, mobile, haptics, and virtual environments. His research covers the following multidisciplinary research areas:
- Human Computer Interaction: Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Mobile Devices and Interfaces, and Collaborative Virtual Environments.
- Social Computing: Social Search, Social Networks, and Social Computing Applications.
- Distributed Computing: Cloud-based Applications and Services, Cloud-based Synchronisation Protocols and Algorithms, and Distributed Systems.
- Software Engineering: Service-Oriented Software Engineering, Software Configuration Management, and Extreme Programming.

Professional and community engagement
Dr Shen is a member of ACM and IEEE Computer Society. He was an editor for IEEE Distributed Systems Online from 2004 to 2008. He was the co-chair for Australasian User Interface Conference (AUIC) 2011 and 2012 and chair for the International Workshop on Collaborative Editing Systems (IWCES) 2005, 2008, and 2011.
Dr Shen is the regular reviewer for the two flagship conferences: ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI). He has often been invited as a reviewer for a number of premier international conferences and journals, including ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST), ACM Conference on Supporting Group Work (GROUP), IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS), ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT), ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation (TOMCS), and IEEE Transactions on Computers.
