This paper introduces Open Planning Process Panels (O-P3). These panels are based on explicit models of the planning process and are used to coordinate the development and evaluation of multiple courses of action. We describe the generic ideas behind O-P3 technology, a general methodology for building O-P3 interfaces and two applications based on O-P3 technology: the Air Campaign Planning Proce...

Guided by the cooperation theory, this paper puts forward an interactive and cooperative learning environment design that is based on the self-learning mode and cooperative learning mode, CSCW, Computer Supported Cooperative Work. It includes the research of colony working method and the technologies supporting it as well, and the exploitation of the application system to improve the ways of in...

In this article, we consider the main challenges that impede us from realizing the great promise of computersupported cooperative work (CSCW). First, we discuss some of the key features that CSCW must provide in order to succeed with users. We follow this with a picture of the current state of the practice among CSCW users, and then we examine some technologies that hold promise for future appl...

This paper approaches heterogeneity and heterogeneous technology as assets, rather than limitations, in the development of computer supported cooperative work. We demonstrate how heterogeneous technologies sustain teachers’ and students’ school work by presenting four different prototypes (the HyConExplorer, the eCell, the iGameFloor and the eBag) that complement one another because they offer ...

Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) research is the discipline that explores how to utilize computing and networking technologies to facilitate cooperation and collaboration among people. A variety of research has been conducted on CSCW architecture. However, how to ensure CSCW system effectiveness and efficiency on supporting collaboration remains a challenge. In this paper we present a...

This paper seeks to analyze a CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) approach for supporting Communities of Practice; mainly we focus on discussing how awareness plays a central role for supporting knowledge sharing in a knowledge intensive community.

"To what extent can people be taught to engage in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)?" is a question which has rarely been discussed at meetings of CSCW researchers. The present study suggests that qualitative research can contribute to the development of a curriculum for preparing nurses to work with patients who live at a distance from themselves. Building on the ethnographic research...
