Four principles for groupware design: a foundation for participative development
نویسندگان
چکیده
Participatory design amalgamates the expertise of interdisciplinary specialists with the taskspecific expertise of end-users. Groupware design is widely recognised as benefiting from participative approaches. Recognition of this ideal, however, does not preclude the failure of groupware design due to poor communication and inadequate understanding between participants. We provide a grounding in the problems affecting groupware success, and introduce four design principles that guide all those involved in design around the pitfalls that have been encountered, some repeatedly, by groupware.

Four principles for groupware design
Groupware design is at a stage where identification, clarification and validation of best practice is critical if its potential is to be realised. This paper examines and records the major causes of groupware failure, and provides four groupware design principles that encapsulate the problems and guide design teams around them. The principles provide an extendable framework that is a synthesis ...
متن کاملChapter 5: Empirical Modelling for collaborative modelling
In the last chapter, I have discussed the philosophical foundation of Empirical Modelling (EM) and differences to other approaches to software systems development. So far, there has been little discussion on what kind of collaborative context may be benefited by adopting an EM approach and how EM principles such as the ODA framework can be exploited in collaborative work such as groupware devel...
متن کاملFostering End-User Participation with the Oregon Groupware Development Process
This position paper outlines the Oregon Groupware Development Process, which fosters user involvement in all stages of groupware development. It combines several – up to now often unrelated – design techniques such as iterative development, tailoring, or participatory design. INTRODUCING SUMMARY Groupware applications are becoming more and more important in the context of distributed collaborat...
متن کاملReport on NSF Science of Design Team Project : “ A Meta - Design Framework for Participative Software Systems ”
Our research explores meta-design as an innovative framework in the design of an emerging type of software-intensive systems called participative software systems. The fundamental challenge facing this approach is achieving the best fit between the software system and its ever-changing context of use, problems, domains, users, and communities of users. Our objective is to define the scientific ...
متن کاملApplying Ecotourism Rural Model for the Regeneration of Targeted Ecotourism Rural Areas (Case Study: The Village of Verdij, Tehran, Iran)
Fostering rural development is one of the greatest recent challenges for development policy. Rural areas have long been threatened by environmental pollutions and degradation, absence of adequate employment opportunities and adequate wages to sustain villagers’ livelihood and social cohesion. Urgency to their present condition provided the basis for the rural tourism development programme in 20...
