Awareness and coordination in shared workspaces

摘要: Awareness of individual and group activities is critical to successful collaboration commonly supported in CSCW systems by active, information generation mechanisms separate from the shared workspace. These pena~ise providers, presuppose relevance recipient, make access difficult, We discuss a study editor use which suggests that awareness provided exploited passively through workspace, allows users move smoothly between close loose collaboration, assign coordinate work dynamically. Passive promise effective support for requiring this sort behaviour, whilst avoiding problems with active approaches.
