Coagmento: A System for Supporting Collaborative Information Seeking
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this demo we introduce Coagmento, a tool for supporting interactive information seeking process of teams in various collaborative scenarios. Coagmento has been used in several laboratory and field studies to understand issues related to collaborative information seeking (CIS) and deriving lessons and guidelines for providing suitable support for people working in collaboration for information-intensive projects. From its initial design, Coagmento has evolved through the introduction of new features and the support for both web-based as well as mobile systems. Using appropriate research methodologies, Coagmento has proven to be a useful tool for collecting behavioral data of users enabling researchers to better understand different dimensions of the collaborative process of teams as well as single users while searching information online.
