Supporting Tool for Cooperative Work Analysis Based on Distributed Cognition

چکیده
This paper aims to use a distributed cognition-inspired approach in an analysis of how teams work. The intention is to extract tacit knowledge from observations of a cognitive system which can be derived from the identification of information trajectories and the grouping of agent actions/activities into specific abstract processes. For this purpose, we have developed a tool to support analysis from a distributed cognitive perspective, and we present a prototype of the tool for assisting analysis of cooperative work here. This work is part of a study into the applicability of distributed cognition to cooperative tasks, with the objective of developing a systematic framework to represent relevant knowledge and expertise.

Agent - based groupware : Challenges for cooperative transaction models
Software development is a highly cooperative activity. The first systems developed to support software development have been, more or less explicitly, based on the assumption that software could be divided into independent components that could be developed separately and then merged together. This assumption is no longer acceptable (if it ever has been). Developers work in a highly cooperative...
متن کاملFormal Support for the Engineering of CORBA-based Distributed Object Systems
We present a CASE tool based on an object-oriented Petri nets dialect called Cooperative Objects, dedicated to the design of CORBA systems. The notation is used for the formal behavioural specification of objects, and its associated tool puts an emphasis on supporting the design life cycle of CORBA systems. The tool offers enhanced interactivity to present the results derived from the capabilit...
متن کاملA Distributed Spatiotemporal Cognition Approach to Visualization in Support of Coordinated Group Activity
Technological advances in both distributed cooperative work and web-map services have the potential to support distributed and collaborative time-critical decision-making for crisis response. We address this potential through the theoretical perspective of distributed cognition and apply this perspective to development of a geocollaborationenabled web application that supports coordinated crisi...
متن کاملCognitive properties of a whiteboard: A case study in a trauma centre
Distributed cognition as an approach to collaborative work holds that a work unit is cognitive system in which cognitive activities are carried out jointly by workers with the use of tools. This approach has several direct implications to the study of collaborative work. In this paper, we analysed staff interactions with a large display board in a Level I trauma centre operating room unit. Coor...
متن کاملA Spectrum Sensing Algorithm based on distributed cognitive models
In the last years, an increasing attention of the communications researchers has been focused on the Cognitive Radio (CR) concept and on its possible supporting technologies and applications. The proposed approach deals the problem of information acquisition and handling for cooperative Cognitive Radio Terminals, in order to perform Spectrum Sensing tasks in a distributed way. The proposed solu...
