Web-Based Resource Coordination for Effective Distributed Collaborative Decision Making
نویسنده
چکیده
Effective use of Web applications by distributed heterogeneous work teams depends on team ability to effectively discover, retrieve, and coordinate technological and human resources. Successful process and product delivery also depend on both push and pull delivery of information to meet both ad hoc and ongoing information resource needs. The described research extends current theory by analyzing resource coordination requirements during distributed decision-making under time and resource constraints. Results of this work suggest the real design, implementation, application, and diagnostic usefulness of an enhanced model of team process where development of a shared mental model serves as a portal to and mediator of distributed situated cognition.
