This paper presents a systematic literature review to gain insight into the growing area of awareness maintenance. A systematic review of papers from 1970 to 2010 examines the background and trends of research in this area. The results establish a framework for awareness maintenance and demonstrate trends, gaps, and potentially fruitful areas for future research. In particular, based on 131 papers, the present work proposes a four-phase framework for awareness maintenance that shows promise for real-world applications. 相似文献

Cooperation is significantly influenced by participants' awareness of relevant information. The objective of this paper is to propose a methodology to design and develop applications that assist individuals to identify their awareness. Through extending Cooperative management Methodology for Enterprise Networks (CoMEN), this article introduces Policy-based Awareness Management (PAM) – a software engineering methodology that proposes the use of existing policy rules as a source to identify awareness. The methodology has been built on the logic of general awareness, and implements Directory Enabled Networks (DEN) policy structure. The contribution of the paper is illustrated through the wireless communication system at a hospital in Norway. We conclude that theory of general awareness and in particular PAM as an extension of CoMEN, is effective to identify relevant information for agents. 相似文献

The present paper evaluates the use of software agents to identify relevance of information, called awareness. This evaluation is based on existing policies and scenarios in the context of wireless communication of a hospital in Norway. The study is to address the lack of literature for experimental studies on a method to employ software agents for awareness identification. Research in computer supported cooperative work indicates the significant contributions of software agents to assist individuals. There are bodies of work that show awareness provides the means for software agents in which effective cooperation can take place. In addition, the role of the methods to identify awareness is emphasized in the literature of both computer supported cooperative work and software agents. This paper explains a step-wise process, called Policy-based Awareness Management, which allows agents to use policies as a source to identify awareness and thus change their behaviors accordingly. The contribution of this method is based on the concepts proposed by the logic of general awareness. The present study applies Directory Enabled Networks-next generation as the policy structure for the method. The paper evaluates the process via its application to identify the relevance of information in wireless communication scenarios in a hospital. The present study conducts observations, interviews and discussions on the wireless communication system of the hospital to identify the different scenarios happening in the system. The paper presents a set of simulations on these scenarios and concludes that the method is effective and cost-efficient. 相似文献

Facilitating peer knowledge modeling: Effects of a knowledge awareness tool on collaborative learning outcomes and processes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We report an empirical study where we investigated the effects, on the collaborative outcomes and processes, of a cognition-related awareness tool providing learners with cues about their peer’s level of prior knowledge. Sixty-four university students participated in a remote computer-mediated dyadic learning scenario. Co-learners were provided (or not) with a visual representation of their peer’s level of prior knowledge through what we refer to as a knowledge awareness tool (KAT). The results show that, providing co-learners with objective cues about the level of their peer’s prior knowledge positively impacts learning outcomes. In addition, this effect seems to be mediated by the fact that co-learners provided with these objective cues become more accurate in estimating their partner’s knowledge - accuracy that predicts higher outcomes. Analyses on the process level of the verbal interactions indicate that the KAT seems to sensitize co-learners to the fragile nature of their partner’s as well as their own prior knowledge. The beneficial effect of the KAT seems to mainly rely on this induction of epistemic uncertainty that implicitly triggers compensation socio-cognitive strategies; strategies that appear to be beneficial to the learning process. 相似文献

Coordinating activities in many settings can require people to manage conflict, potential and actual. Conflict arises from
resource limitations, high-stakes consequences, uncertainty, goal conflict among stakeholders and hierarchical organizational
structures. To understand coordination in such systems, we conducted a field study of management of surgical operating rooms.
While coordinating interdependencies, such as progress monitoring, scheduling and rescheduling, and prodding, coordinators
managed a set of complicated conflicts. They did so opportunistically, to resolve and to prevent conflict. Additionally, coordinators
were concerned with perceived fairness. These findings indicate that, in the design of ICT to support coordination, we should
examine not only the mechanical articulation of activities and efficient prioritization of resources, but also means to support
companion social processes. 相似文献

Remote collaboration has become increasingly important and common in designers’ working routine. It is critical for geographically distributed designers to accurately perceive and comprehend other remote team members’ intentions and activities with a high level of awareness and presence as if they were working in the same room. More specifically, distributed cognition places emphasis on the social aspects of cognition and asserts that knowledge is distributed by placing memories, facts, or knowledge on objects, individuals, and tools in the environment they work. This paper proposes a new computer-mediated remote collaborative design system, TeleAR, to enhance the distributed cognition among remote designers by integrating Augmented Reality and telepresence technologies. This system can afford a high level externalization of shared resources, which includes gestures, design tools, design elements, and design materials. This paper further investigates how this system may affect designers’ communication and collaboration with focus on distributed cognition and mutual awareness. It also explores the critical communication-related issue addressed in the proposed system, including common ground and social capitals, perspective invariance, trust and spatial faithfulness. 相似文献

This paper looks at the cultural transformation of nursing. It argues that introducing computers in a female occupation is not simply a case of imposing male technology on female care-oriented practices and values. In order to understand current changes of nursing practice, three points of view have to be simultaneously kept in focus: 1) the differences between women's interests and ambitions; 2) the readings of a technology that have already been established through previous examples of design and use (in hospitals up to date primarily for the purpose of establishing discipline and management control); and 3) the social practices that dominate a field of work (in the case of health work the already technology-driven cure aspect). 相似文献

Activity-based computing: support for mobility and collaboration in ubiquitous computing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This paper presents the design philosophy of activity-based computing (ABC), which addresses mobility and cooperation in human work activities. Furthermore, it presents the ABC framework, which is a ubiquitous computing infrastructure supporting ABC. The idea of ABC and the aim of the ABC framework is to: (1) support human activity by managing its collection of work tasks on a computer, (2) support mobility by distributing activities across heterogeneous computing environments, (3) support asynchronous collaboration by allowing several people to participate in an activity, and (4) support synchronous, real-time collaboration by enabling desktop conferencing by sharing the activity across several clients. During a period of two years, the ABC framework has been co-designed and evaluated in close cooperation with a range of clinicians in a hospital.

Innovative organizations are increasing their use of distributed teamwork, but there are several difficulties in reaching
shared understanding between the team members in these settings. A lack of awareness of other team members’ working processes
is one of the drawbacks that a virtual team may face while attempting to collaborate on a shared task. In this study virtual
teamwork was supported with a specific working model. The aim was to investigate virtual team members’ awareness of collaboration.
One global team (N=19) within a single organization worked as a distributed team in a shared web-based workspace for three months. The data
were gathered by means of questionnaires, log-files of the shared virtual workspace and collected company documents in order
to find out how team members perceive their collaboration. Based on qualitative data analysis, three different aspects of
collaboration awareness were identified: an awareness of the possibility for collaboration, an awareness of the aims of collaboration,
and an awareness of the process of collaboration. The results presented in this paper give guidelines for discussing what
the awareness of collaboration means in the context of distributed collaboration. 相似文献

The air traffic management system in the USA is an example of a distributed problem-solving system. It has elements of both
cooperative and competitive problem-solving. It includes complex organizations such as Flight Operations Centers, the FAA
Air Traffic Control Systems Command Center (ATCSCC), and traffic management units at en route centers that focus on daily
strategic planning, as well as individuals concerned more with immediate tactical decisions (such as air traffic controllers
and pilots). The design of this system has evolved over time to rely heavily on the distribution of tasks and control authority
in order to keep cognitive complexity manageable for any one individual operator, and to provide redundancy (both human and
technological) to serve as a safety net to catch the slips or mistakes that any one person or entity might make. Within this
distributed architecture, a number of different conceptual approaches have been applied to deal with cognitive complexity
and to provide redundancy. These approaches can be characterized in terms of the strategy for distributing: (1) control or
responsibility, (2) knowledge or expertise, (3) access to data, (4) processing capacity, and (5) goals and priorities. This
paper will provide an abstract characterization of these alternative strategies for distributing work in terms of these 5
dimensions, and will illustrate and evaluate their effectiveness in terms of concrete realizations found within the National
Airspace System. 相似文献

Our case study explores the extent to which a “Distributed Cognition”-like ethnographic approach can be used to analyze situations which are not at first sight compatible with the precepts of computational cognition. In the first part of the paper, we analyze the collective listening of phone calls in a helpline. We show why collective listening can be considered a “distributed collective practice”, with a mode of coordination based on repeated verbal re-enactments of difficult phone calls, rather than upon the discrete computational steps normally assumed in the standard model. In the second part of the paper, we analyse the organizational and interactional learning which takes place when collective listening is re-mediated by using e-mail exchanges rather than telephone conversations to communicate distress. Our conclusion discusses critically the viability of the distribution model in a context of collective listening. 相似文献

Managing chronic illness requires personal health information management (PHIM) to be performed by lay individuals. Paramount to understanding the PHIM process is understanding the sociotechnical system in which it frequently occurs: the home environment. We combined distributed cognition theory and the patient work system model to investigate how characteristics of the home interact with the cognitive work of PHIM. We used a 3D virtual reality CAVE that enabled participants who had been diagnosed with diabetes (N = 20) to describe how they would perform PHIM in the home context. We found that PHIM is distinctly cognitive work, and rarely performed ‘in the head’. Rather, features of the physical environment, tasks, people, and tools and technologies present, continuously shape and are shaped by the PHIM process. We suggest that approaches in which the individual (sans context) is considered the relevant unit of analysis overlook the pivotal role of the environment in shaping PHIM.
Practitioner Summary:
We examined how Personal Health Information Management (PHIM) is performed in the homes of diabetic patients. We found that approaches to studying cognition that focus on the individual, to the exclusion of their context, overlook the pivotal role of environmental, social, and technological features in shaping PHIM. 相似文献

Most environments are passive– deaf, dumb and blind, unaware of their inhabitants and unable to assist them in a meaningful way. However, with the advent
of ubiquitous computing – ever smaller, cheaper and faster computational devices embedded in a growing variety of “smart”
objects – it is becoming increasingly possible to create active environments: physical spaces that can sense and respond appropriately to the people and activities taking place within them.
Most of the early ubiquitous computing applications focus on how individuals interact with their environments as they work on foreground tasks. In contrast, this paper focuses on how groups of people affect and are affected by background aspects of their environments. 相似文献
