CAWS: Improving users’ awareness for advancing effectiveness of co-authoring activities
The aim of this research is to identify the key problems in collaborative authoring, based on collected field data (a field study of the co-authoring process and an observational study of awareness), and a review of previous research on the subject. From this, potential criteria are identified which support awareness in collaborative authoring. Existing tools (analysis) are compared using these criteria. Finally, a prototype system, CAWS, is described. This system is designed to enhance users’ awareness in order to improve productivity in collaborative development of documents. Experiments will lead to a greater understanding of the quantitative effects of awareness on collaboration.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to identify the key problems in collaborative authoring, based on collected field data (a field study of the co-authoring process and an observational study of awareness), and a review of previous research on the subject. From this, potential criteria are identified which support awareness in collaborative authoring. Existing tools (analysis) are compared using these criteria. Finally, a prototype system, CAWS, is described. This system is designed to enhance users’ awareness in order to improve productivity in collaborative development of documents. Experiments will lead to a greater understanding of the quantitative effects of awareness on collaboration.
