Abstract

In this paper we present results from the case studies of two homecare groups that have recently adopted the same workflow system. From these, we present evidence that the physical layout of the meeting space can generate spheres of collaboration that influence interaction between team members, the technology and each other. This paper contributes to the CHI literature by presenting case study evidence of technological implementations in a co-located environment that have affected social spaces to create different spheres of collaboration.

An ontological approach to automating collaboration and interaction analysis in groupware systems

Collaboration and interaction analysis is a research area that investigates how to characterise group work carried out by users of groupware systems. This paper describes an ontological framework that conceptualises the collaborative activity supported ...

TAMODIA'07: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Task models and diagrams for user interface design

The development of groupware that effectively supports work groups is always limited by how well groups are understood and, consequently, how well they can be modeled to support system design. In this paper we report on an empirical study of groups that ...
