The Task Sharing Framework for Collaboration and Meta-Collaboration

摘要: This paper describes a novel and general framework for the sharing of collaborative tasks between multiple users. In contrast to majority existing software used in context, developed under this provides each user with their own identical yet independent copy task which, by default, only they themselves can manipulate. represents departure from traditional turn-taking dual control interaction styles is intended reduce domination one over others as well provide space effective collaboration. The visual representation agreement disagreement particularly emphasised since has potential constructively mediate resolution disputes, especially if required at various points during task. Under framework, it also possible emulate and, more importantly, dynamically vary them, thus manipulating affordances interface. likely scaffold conversation users about how are working together complete task; would be collaborating process. therefore holds significant not collaboration but meta-collaboration.
