Literature: Anna doesn't have any specific suggestions for literature, but I, Daniel, have. Please read the text on "Interdisciplinary cooperation" which is accessible in Bilda (Administrative/Literature/110929 Kim.pdf). Although the example in the text is about the difficulties of computer scientists cooperating with graphic designers, the lessons are applicable far beyond this specific case.
