Computer supported environment for common exploitation of personal information

Personal connections have great influences on various social activities, e.g., a business negotiation. However, data of personal connections are usually diverse, dynamic and ill-formed. In this paper, we firstly propose a model and representation for personal connections, then describe the framework to deal with ill-formed information. We discuss some key criteria on developing a common exploitation environment integrated with an adaptable data-base and user interface to support group decision. Finally, we give illustrations to show that the developed environment is effective and useful.

Computer systems for distributed and distance learning

Abstract Network-based learning is now such an important area that it would seem timely to examine progress to date and to draw conclusions regarding the direction of further research. This paper is the result of a survey of computer systems for distributed and distance learning, focusing on projects that help to illustrate the evolution of this important field. An examination such as this is important in its own right as a resource for other researchers wishing to pursue the subject further, but the survey also helps to highlight some of the major trends of past projects and to suggest some of the ways in which progress may be made in the future.     

On the Relevance of Habermas‘ Theory of Communicative Action for CSCW

We examine the argument put forward by Ojelanki Nygwenyama andKalle Lyytinen that Juergen Habermas's theory of communicativeaction is relevant for the analysis and design of groupwaresystems. We suggest that CSCW champions of Habermas oftenoverlook the fact that his theory can be criticised in itsown right, and go on to outline its contestable character inan appraisal of his understanding of the ideal speech situation.We then move to Nygwenyama and Lyytinen's implementation ofHabermas's schema and argue that their categories of analysisare both arbitrarily constructed and applied. In conclusion,we question the extent to which grand, holistic, synthesisingsociological theories offer a way forward for designers andpoint to the difficulties of practically applying Nygwenyamaand Lyytinen's categories of analysis.

群件对群决策支持系统性能影响的研究

群件是以交流、协调、合作和信息共享为目标,面向群体工作需要的应用软件,在分析影响群决策支持系统的最终决策结果的系统处理任务、系统可用资源,群成员间交互方式等因素的基础上,研究了群件系统的实现方式、结构形式及通讯模式,群件系统在同时同地,同时异地,异时同地和异时异地情况下提供了4种实现方式：会议、Project Room、远程会议、电子和声音邮件系统。并分析了群件系统的实现模式对GDSS效率的影响,群件通信模式对GDSS最终结果的影响,最后给出了构建基于群件系统的群决策支持系统时选取合适的工作方式要充分考虑系统的功能需求,宜采用用户驱动模式或控制员驱动模式,应选择合理的标准将信息类化等准则。     

Conferencing and collaborative computing

As integrated services have become available to the desktop, users have embraced new modes of interaction, such as multimedia conferencing and collaborative computing. In this paper, we provide a survey of past and present research that has influenced this application area, and describe research directions for the future.     

DocuDrama

This paper presents an approach combining concepts of virtual storytelling with cooperative processes. We describe why storytelling is relevant in cooperation support applications, and outline how storytelling concepts provide a new quality for groupware applications. Different prototypes illustrate a combination of a groupware application with various storytelling components in a Theatre of Work.

Towards communityware

This paper summarizes our recent activities to support people to communicate with each other using public computer network systems. Unlike conventional teleconferencing systems, which are mainly for business meetings, we focus on informal communication in open orgnizations. So far, three different systems have been developed and actually tested.
