Strategies and Taxonomy, Tailoring Your CSCW Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the rapidly growing development of Computer Supported Collaborative Work technologies, the evaluation of these services becomes an essential aspect. This evaluation mixes technical, business, social, perceptive, ergonomic aspects which can’t be considered independently. In this paper we propose a new taxonomy of CSCW evaluation methods based on previous works and on our analysis of current evaluation methods. With this new taxonomy and the description of CSCW development process and life-cycle we are able to propose evaluation strategies that can be adapted and tailored for most of systems.

متن کاملA Classification Method for CSCW Systems
Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is a research field where the role played by individuals as members of groups is fundamental. The human being is not considered as an individual entity, but it is considered as a being embedded into the society, where he works and interacts. From the beginning, many CSCW systems have arisen. Some taxonomies appeared in order to find a way to classify a...
متن کاملSupporting Tailorability of Groupware through Component Architectures
Tailorability is generally regarded as a key property of CSCW-systems, because cooperative activities provide for very dynamic and diversified requirements. Extensive tailorability has to be supported by the architecture of the application, which is determined by the design of the groupware platform. This contribution points out the value of a scaleable component architecture for groupware appl...

متن کاملSupport for tailoring CSCW systems: adaptation by composition
In the last few years it has been realized that flexibility and tailorability are key requirements for software systems in general and for CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) systems in particular. An important mechanism for providing tailorability is the creation of compound functionality by the composition of specialized modules. In this paper we identify two variants of this compositi...
