Towards Open CSCW Systems

چکیده
Applications designed to support t k work of groups will becoming increasingly important to f w e distributed systems. This paper considers the role of distributed systems within the development of cooperative systems. In particular, we focus on the need to provide Open CSCW systems and their impact on dism'bured systems. The work currently being undertoken in Open Distributed Systems (ODP) is used to highlight significant trends for future open CSCW systems. It will be shown that the CSCW and ODP community share mutual interests and have complementary aims and goals developed from merent perspectives. Within the paper we provide a brief introduction to CSCW highlighting the requirements CSCW places on distributed systems. T k development of an environment to support open CSCW systems is introduced and briefly described. Finally, the relationships between requirements and models for Open CSCW systems and the Basic Reference Model of ODP are discussed

متن کاملDomain-Based Classification of CSCW Systems
CSCW systems are widely used for group activities in different organizations and setups. This study briefly describes the existing classifications of CSCW systems and their shortcomings. These existing classifications are helpful to categorize systems based on a general set of CSCW characteristics but do not provide any guidance towards system design and evaluation. After literature review of A...
متن کاملThe Impact of CSCW on Open Distributed Processing
The user-centred philosophy of CSCW challenges the established principles of many existing technologies. In turn the development of CSCW is dependent on the facilities provided by these technologies. It is therefore important to examine and understand this interrelationship. This paper focuses on distributed computing, a technology central to the development of CSCW systems. In particular, the ...
متن کاملPractice-based CSCW Research: ECSCW bridging across the Atlantic
Practice-based CSCW research is an orientation towards empirically-grounded research embracing particular methodological approaches with the aim of creating new theory about work, collaboration, and cooperative technologies. While practice-based CSCW research has several strong roots in both North America and Europe: ECSCW and Europe remain central to this tradition. In this panel we will discu...
متن کاملInterpersonal Relationships in Group Interaction in CSCW Environments
When designing computer-supported work systems (CSCW) it is important consider the evolution of attitudes among the users and how the achievement of user individual and collective goals influences third person. This is especially important in situations where users do not know each other in advance and all of their interactions are mediated through the environment, since the environment is inst...
