Computer based Information Systems and Managers' Work

Three categories of model are identified here: the technology impact model; the social impact model and the integrationist model, which imply different views of the ‘impact’ of information technology on work organization. These models are used to structure data from case studies conducted by the authors to explore the implications of the use of computer-based information systems for managers’ w...

Software Development and Integration in a Computer Supported Cooperative Work Environment

SUMMARY This paper presents a prototype computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) environment that supports the engineering design process. In particular, this environment provides collaborative tools that support computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided software engineering (CASE). This paper takes an high level look at the system as a whole and then focuses on the method used to implem...

Computer Supported Collaborative Social Environment for Education, Training and Work

The increasing employment of collaborated and blended learning techniques in educational institutes indicate that this kind of solution maximizes investments whether the growth of students demands more resources and teachers. Collaboration is working together towards a common goal at different times (time flexibility), in different locations (spatial flexibility), at different companies and edu...

Review of Computer-Supported Collaborative Work Systems

The advent of computer-supported collaborative work (CSCW) systems significantly impacts group collaboration. This paper reviews three CSCW systems: Lotus Notes, Xerox DocuShare, and SevenMountains Integrate. We focus on their different capabilities and uses in distributed group projects.
