TL;DR: iQuest is a novel software system that extends automatic visualization of social networks by mining communication archives such as e-mail and blogs through including analysis of the contents of those archives.
Abstract: iQuest is a novel software system to improve understanding of organizational phenomena with greater precision, clarity, and granularity than has previously been possible. It permits to gain new insights into organizational behavior, addressing issues such as tracking information while respecting privacy, comparing different interaction channels, network membership, and correlating organizational performance and creativity. It extends automatic visualization of social networks by mining communication archives such as e-mail and blogs through including analysis of the contents of those archives.

TL;DR: An innovative course format is introduced creating an empirical base for team performance in a distributed online communication environment and basic analysis of correlations between SNA measures and team performance is provided.
Abstract: Teaching a course on optimizing online communication behavior and social network analysis permitted us to obtain preliminary results on correlating temporal online communication patterns with team performance. Students from Helsinki University of Technology and University of Cologne who had never met face to face formed virtual interdisciplinary teams collaborating on a common task. While collaborating over long distance, students kept track of their own communication activities by e-mail, chat, and conference calls with Skype. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce an innovative course format creating an empirical base for team performance in a distributed online communication environment. Secondly, we provide basic analysis of correlations between SNA measures and team performance. Students used these insights to optimize their own communication behavior for future virtual collaboration.
