Groupware systems Meeting and decision support system Lecture 28,29 Groupware systems Meeting and decision support system

Groupware What is groupware Types of groupware Models of groupware computer-mediated communication meeting and decisions support systems shared applications and artefacts Models of groupware Implementation issues

What is groupware? Software specifically designed to support group working with cooperative requirements in mind NOT just tools for communication Groupware can be classified by when and where the participants are working the function it performs for cooperative work Specific and difficult problems with groupware implementation

The Time/Space Matrix Classify groupware by: when the participants are working, at the same time or not where the participants are working, at the same place or not Common names for axes: time: synchronous/asynchronous place: co-located/remote different place same place same time different time

Time/Space Matrix (ctd) same place different place same time face-to-face conversation telephone different time post-it note letter

Classification by Function Cooperative work involves: Participants who are working Artefacts upon which they work participants artefacts of work control and feedback P A communication understanding direct

computer-mediated communication email and bulletin boards structured message systems text messaging video, virtual environments

Email and bulletin boards asynchronous/remote familiar and most successful groupware Recipients of email: direct in To: field copies in Cc: field delivery identical – difference is social purpose

Structured message systems asynchronous/remote `super' email – cross between email and a database sender – fills in special fields recipient – filters and sorts incoming mail based on field contents … but – work by the sender – benefit for the recipient

Structured message systems (ctd) Type: Seminar announcement To: all From: Alan Dix Subject: departmental seminar Time: 2:15 Wednesday Place: D014 Speaker: W.T. Pooh Title: The Honey Pot Text: Recent research on socially constructed meaning has focused on the image of the Honey Pot and its dialectic interpretation within an encultured hermeneutic. This talk … N.B. global structuring by designer vs. local structuring by participants

txt is gr8 instant messaging SMS 1996 – ICQ small Israeli company now millions more like conversation SMS y is it we al lv shrt msgs originally a feature of internal management protocol short messages (160 chars) and text with numbers no-one predicted mass adoption!! now phones with cameras for MMS Hi, u there yeh, had a good time yesterday? uhu want to meet later

Video conferences and communication synchronous/remote Technology: ISDN + video compression internet, web cams major uses: video conferences pervasive video for social contact integration with other applications often cheaper than face-to-face meetings (telecommunications costs vs. air flights)

Video issues … not a substitute for face-to-face meetings small field of view lack of reciprocity poor eye contact One solution for lack of eye contact … the video-tunnel

collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) meet others in a virtual world participants represented – embodiment artefacts too … computer (e.g. spreadsheet) and ‘real’ (virtually) objects text? consistent orientation or easy to read MUDs (Multi-user domains) 2D/3D places to meet on the web users represented as avatars

meeting and decision support systems argumentation tools meeting rooms shared work surfaces

Meeting and decision support In design, management and research, we want to: generate ideas develop ideas record ideas primary emphasis – common understanding

Three types of system argumentation tools meeting rooms asynchronous co-located recording the arguments for design decisions meeting rooms synchronous co-located electronic support for face-to-face meetings shared drawing surfaces synchronous remote shared drawing board at a distance

argumentation tools asynchronous co-located hypertext like tools to record design foundation Two purposes: reminding the designers of the reasons for decisions communicating justification between design teams Mode of collaboration: very long term sometimes synchronous use also

Meeting rooms synchronous co-located electronic support for face-to-face meetings individual terminals (often recessed) large shared screen (electronic whiteboard) special software U or C shaped seating around screen Various modes: brainstorming, private use, WYSIWIS WYSIWIS – ‘what you see is what I see’ all screens show same image any participant can write/draw to screen

Typical meeting room shared screen

meeting capture use ordinary whiteboard detector and special pens LCD projection on whiteboard low-cost alternative to dedicated meeting room

shared applications and artefacts shared PCs and windows shared editors, co-authoring tools shared diaries communication through the artefact

Time/space matrix revisited co-located remote video conferences, video-wall, etc. meeting rooms synchronous shared work surfaces and editors shared PCs and windows email and electronic conferences argumentation tools asynchronous co-authoring systems, shared calendars

Integrating communication and work understanding P direct communication deixis control and feedback feedthrough A Added: deixis – reference to work objects feedthorough – for communication through the artefact Classified groupware by function it supported Good groupware – open to all aspects of cooperation e.g., annotations in co-authoring systems embedding direct communication bar codes – form of deixis, aids diffuse large scale cooperation
