Evident and growing research interest has been witnessed on the relationship between the use of computer-based systems and effective communication in group-related activities such as collaborative learning and training. The various terms accorded to this research stream include virtual teams, e-collaboration, computer-supported collaborative work, distributed work, electronic meetings, etc. A n...

This paper presents a Computer Supported Cooperative Work tool to help different models of meetings concerning the decision making process. Besides supporting the two obvious domains of cooperation: space (same or different) and time (synchronous or asynchronous) it also allows to work with other dimensions such as group/subgroup, user roles, public or closed type of meeting, anonymous or nomin...

This paper discusses the evaluation of Electronic Meeting Systems (EMS). More specifically, it tackles the problem of evaluating the perceived organizational value of these systems. EMS lay down one sub area of research crossing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Group Support Systems (GSS) in particular and information systems in general. Based on these multiple perspectives, we de...

In the last few years it has been realized that flexibility and tailorability are key requirements for software systems in general and for CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) systems in particular. An important mechanism for providing tailorability is the creation of compound functionality by the composition of specialized modules. In this paper we identify two variants of this compositi...

Groupware for cooperative work (CSCW) and for collaborative learning (CSCL) have many important commonalities as well as di€erent requirements. By transforming a generic CSCW platform into an environment to support a particular vision of education as collaborative knowledge building, we discovered how functionality had to be adopted, transformed and re®ned to meet the speci®c educational social...

This essay is a story about how we might think about decisions and decision making in organizations. The story is divided into three major parts. The first part is based on a vision of decisions as resulting from intendedly rational choice. Such a vision is the dominant portrayal of decisions in social science. This vision of decisions is elaborated by considering developments associated with p...

In this paper we present an online, collaborative process that facilitates usability evaluation of web sites. The online workspace consists of simple and effective proformas and computer-mediated discussion space to support usability evaluation. The system was designed and used by staff and students at two universities. Students, working in small teams, at each university, developed web sites a...

background and objectives: one of the simplest and cheapest attachments for overdentures, is the ball-type attachment, however, keeping it during the first year of prosthesis delivery and after that is one of the main concerns of dentists. the present study aimed to assess the wear of matrix in overdentures attachment supported by one, two and three implants in the mandible. materials and metho...

The paper has three parts. In the first part we apply the theory of commuting pairs of (pseudo) difference operators to the (formal) asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials: using purely geometrical arguments we show heuristically that the asymptotics, for large degrees, of orthogonal polynomial with respect to varying weights is intimately related to certain spinor bundles on a hyperelliptic alg...
