A Conceptual Model for Analysing Collaborative Work and Products in Groupware Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collaborative work using groupware systems is a dynamic process in which many tasks, in different application domains, are carried out. Currently, one of the biggest challenges in the field of CSCW (Computer-Supported Cooperative Work) research is to establish conceptual models which allow for the analysis of collaborative activities and their resulting products. In this article, we propose an ontology that conceptualizes the required elements which enable an analysis to infer a set of analysis indicators, thus evaluating both the individual and group work and the artefacts which are produced.

Bibliography of Team Automata
This paper introduces a mathematical model of groupware systems called Team Automata. We use this model at the architectural level, to describe components of a groupware system, and their interconnections. The multiple automata constituting the team interact via shared actions transitions which multiple automata perform synchronously together. The paper concludes by illustrating the application...
متن کاملFrom Groupware to Social Media - A Comparison of Conceptual Models
Although Groupware research has yielded a number of productive and successful systems, it appears that the current social media trend is somewhat out ruling the traditional cooperation support systems such as email or shared workspaces. In this paper we propose a conceptual model that identifies major elements and concepts of cooperative systems to provide a basis for their comparison. We will ...
متن کاملFCVW: Experiments in Groupware
Pervasiveness of Internet and increasing geographical dispersal of work teams result in continuously growing importance of groupware software that supports collaboration within groups. Numerous applications have been developed to address collaboration needs and many are widely used but don’t fully satisfy work team requirements and the Internet potential. This paper surveys several groupware pr...
متن کاملSystem Modeling for Systematic Development of Groupware Applications
Groupware systems allow users to be part of a shared environment in order to carry out groupwork. Members of a group belong to organizations in which each fulfills general and specific enterprise objectives. This paper presents a modeling proposal specially devised for the study of CSCW (Computer-Supported Cooperative Work) systems and the subsequent development of groupware applications. This ...
متن کاملCollaborative Explicit Plasticity Framework: a Conceptual Scheme for the Generation of Plastic and Group-Aware User Interfaces
The advent of new advances in mobile computing has changed the manner we do our daily work, even enabling us to perform collaborative activities. However, current groupware approaches do not offer an integrating and efficient solution that jointly tackles the flexibility and heterogeneity inherent to mobility as well as the awareness aspects intrinsic to collaborative environments. Issues relat...
