Introduction to Groupware Task Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Groupware Task Analysis is a task analysis method that deals with the context of use of a system in the broadest sense. The task world is seen from three viewpoints that deal with different aspects of the world. The processes of GTA and their background are described in detail. In addition a task analysis tool EUTERPE is described. EUTERPE is based on GTA and allows capturing of the task models and provides some basic analysis primitives.

In this paper, we describe user experiences in a longterm groupware project. We examined communication changes, both planned and unplanned, as a result of the system introduction.

متن کاملGroupware and Business Process Improvement: technology enabled organisational learning
Much of the evaluative research on groupware in organisations so far has been preoccupied with the role of groupware as a new interaction media to replace or extend face-to-face communication in groups.

متن کاملEvolving Cooperation when Introducing Groupware: A Self-Organization Perspective
The introduction of groupware into organizations impacts the existing patterns of cooperation. Applying the theory of self-organizing social systems, we try to gain insights into these introduction processes. We look at Maturana’s theory of autopoietic systems and show how Luhmann has drawn on it for the analysis of social systems. In the following, we present case studies of evolving cooperati...
متن کاملGroup Task Analysis for Groupware Usability Evaluations
Techniques for inspecting the usability of groupware applications have recently been proposed. These techniques focus on the mechanics of collaboration rather than the work context in which a system is used, and offer time and cost savings by not requiring actual users or fully-functional prototypes. Although these techniques are valuable, adding information about task and work context could im...
