Use and Implications of a Shared, Forecasting Calendar
Changes in modern work environments, combined with advances in sensing and machine intelligence, have given rise to a new class of groupware applications that seeks to facilitate workplace communication through the prediction of future availability and/or location. We present the results of a four-month deployment of an experimental predictive calendar system in an academic setting. While parti...
متن کاملRequirements for Groupware Calendar Systems (GCS): Addressing Social Relationships
This paper challenges the generic single conceptual viewpoint that designers have of groupware and specifically Groupware Calendar Systems (GCS). From the analysis of interviews, we categorized different calendar usage and activity that distinguish between the ‘Private Calendar’, the ‘Public Calendar’ and the ‘Shared Calendars’. Based on this categorization, we identified the dynamic relationsh...
متن کاملIntelligent groupware to support communication and persona management
In addition to providing other benefits, groupware calendar systems inform colleagues about a coworker’s location and availability. However, they often exhibit inaccuracies that do not reflect the true schedules of coworkers. I believe that such event attendance can be modeled and accessed through the use of a context-aware, intelligent interface component. Predictions of attendance can then be...
متن کاملGroupware Calendar Systems (GCS) Modelling in a Virtual Environment: Using Role Activity Diagram (RAD)
As technology moves away from the desktop to a world of loosely coupled devices, groupware applications are transforming communications by enabling new ways of processing and delivering work across time and space. This virtual environment becomes all pervasive, temporal coupling takes place over the web via communication technologies such as e-mail, videoconference and groupware calendar system...
متن کاملCommunicating Design Knowledge with Groupware Technology Patterns: The Case of Shared Object Management
Many groupware frameworks offer programming abstractions to relieve developers from recurring issues during groupware development. However, some properties of the frameworks complicate their usage. We identify these properties and argue that the framework approach alone is not sufficient for supporting groupware developers. Groupware development support should instead educate developers on how ...
