We are investigating the design of tools to support everyday scientific creativity in distributed collaboration. Based on an exegesis of theoretical and empirical literature on creativity and group dynamics, we present and justify three requirements for supporting creativity: support for divergent and convergent thinking, development of shared objectives, and reflexivity. We elaborate on these ...

CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) is an active research area with many promising applications and benefits. We argue that the plight of the individual user can also be viewed as a CSCW problem, for the individual frequently acts as multiple persona: performing many independent tasks, perhaps in several places. We propose reflexive CSCW to address such issues. Solutions in the reflexive...

To become dependent on professional support to accomplish the daily activities of life can be considered a turning point, involving a range of challenging changes in life. The purpose of the study was to describe the experiences of older home-dwelling individuals in transition from self-supported to supported living from a lifeworld perspective. Five women and five men were interviewed, and a d...

Some people may be laughing when looking at you reading in your spare time. Some may be admired of you. And some may want be like you who have reading hobby. What about your own feel? Have you felt right? Reading is a need and a hobby at once. This condition is the on that will make you feel that you must read. If you know are looking for the book enPDFd groupware software for computer supporte...

BACKGROUND The social inclusion of tenants living in two forms of supported living schemes - those clustered on one site and those dispersed in neighbourhoods - is contrasted with more traditional provision found on the island of Ireland, namely, small group homes, residential homes and campus-style settings. METHODS A standard pro forma based on measures used in past research was completed b...

In this paper, I revisit the discussion on workplace studies in computersupported cooperative work (CSCW). Mainly this discussion has debated the designrelated outcome, direct or indirect, of doing ethnographically informed studies of workplaces. There is, however, no clear definition on what counts as a workplace study in a CSCW context. Sometimes a workplace study signifies ethnographic field...

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...
