Supporting Awareness in Asynchronous Collaborative Environments

چکیده
One of the major challenges in asynchronous collaborative environment is to provide a sense of awareness of other users actions. The amount of awareness needed varies due to specific roles users undertake during collaboration. While emphasizing the importance of roles, this paper discussed awareness-role relationship and proposed a role-based approach to specifying the awareness characteristics in asynchronous collaborative environments. An example of implementation of role-based awareness supporting system LiveNet4 was also illustrated at the end of this paper.
