Computer-Supported Deliberations for Distributed Teams
نویسندگان
چکیده
In our terminology, a “deliberation” is a distributed collaborative process, more or less spontaneous, structured, and complex. This process can include both individual and collective activities, synchronous and asynchronous phases. But in every case, its core part is the negotiation of some result through argumentation. This paper describes a comprehensive flexible generic support for distributed deliberations: motivations, design choices, current Java prototype, and usage through a collaborative document inspection example.

Facilitating Collaborative Sensemaking in Distributed Project Teams Using Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) tools
We discuss ways in which computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) tools can support collaborative sensemaking in distributed project teams. Prevailing analyses have focused on collaborative sense-making in the context of ongoing and recurring face to face interaction. This may suggest that distributed project teams are challenged since their sensemaking can draw only on interaction that is me...
متن کاملDistributed Engineering Environment for the Design of Electronic Systems
Computer supported collaborative work (CSCW) is currently of growing interest for application industrial context. Integrated workflow systems are available to allow the integration of globally distributed teams. However, in many areas (i.e. in electronic design automation), tool integration remains to be a critical issue since existing legacy tools have to be integrated into distributed workflo...
متن کاملTransactive Memory and Trust Networks in Computer-Supported Teams
The development of transactive memory facilitated by trust relationships and social exchanges is of emerging importance in distributed environments characterized by a lack of rich social presence. Situated at the nexus of research on computer-supported teams, this study examined the effects of trust networks and social presence on transactive memory. The results indicated that dense trust netwo...
متن کاملDesign Patterns for Cross-Cultural Computer-Supported Collaboration
This paper introduces design patterns for cross-cultural computer-supported collaborative design learning. It presents four patterns derived from an in-depth analysis of interactions between Hong Kong and Korean distributed teams and a cross-cultural comparison of interactions within these teams to interactions in Hong Kong/Austrian, Hong Kong/USAmerican and Hong Kong/Taiwanese teams. The patte...
