Activity awareness in collaboratories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are investigating the support for activity awareness in the CiteSeer collaboratory. Activity awareness is awareness of collaborators’ work that supports performance in complex tasks in long-term endeavors directed at significant goals. Based on empirical studies, we give three examples of supporting activity awareness in collaboratories: (1) Awareness of collaborators’ creative activity in distributed settings; (2) Awareness of scholarly resources through notification systems; and (3) Awareness of intellectual trends as defined by the community. We conclude by discussing the importance of awareness as a long-term, sustained activity to enhance collaboration in scientific communities.
