Populating the application: a model of awareness for cooperative applications

TLDR
The model developed in this paper takes as its starting point a previous spatial model of interaction and exploits the partitioning of space inherent within the spatial model to allow its application to non-spatial applications.Abstract:
This paper presents a model of awareness for shared cooperative applications. The model developed in this paper takes as its starting point a previous spatial model of interaction. A more general model is suggested that allows the action of users to be represented and made available to other users of the application. The developed model exploits the partitioning of space inherent within the spatial model to allow its application to non-spatial applications. The general applicability of the model is demonstrated by considering a range of different interpretations across a number of cooperative applications.read more

A Descriptive Framework of Workspace Awareness for Real-Time Groupware
Carl Gutwin,Saul Greenberg +1 more
TL;DR: A descriptive theory of awareness is developed for the purpose of aiding groupware design, focusing on one kind of group awareness called workspace awareness, which focuses on how small groups perform generation and execution tasks in medium-sized shared workspaces.

The intellectual challenge of CSCW: the gap between social requirements and technical feasibility
TL;DR: It is argued that there is an inherent gap between the social requirements of CSCW and its technical mechanisms and that the challenge of the social-technical gap creates an opportunity to refocus CSCw.

The Problem with 'Awareness': Introductory Remarks on 'Awareness in CSCW'
TL;DR: From the very beginning CSCW researchers have been exploring how computer-based technologies might facilitate some kind of 'awareness' among and between cooperating actors, shifting away from face-to-face interaction as the presumed paradigm of human interaction.

Exploiting space and location as a design framework for interactive mobile systems
TL;DR: A design framework consisting of taxonomies of location, mobility, population, and device awareness is described consisting of a semantic model of space for mobile systems that allows contextual information to be shared across a number of mobile devices.

Rooms: the use of multiple virtual workspaces to reduce space contention in a window-based graphical user interface
Austin Henderson,Stuart K. Card +1 more
TL;DR: Rooms is a window manager that overcomes small screen size by exploiting the statistics of window access, dividing the user's workspace into a suite of virtual workspaces with transitions among them.

A spatial model of interaction in large virtual environments
Steve Benford,Lennart E. Fahlén +1 more
TL;DR: A spatial model of group interaction in virtual environments that defines the key abstractions of object aura, nimbus, focus and adapters to control mutual levels of awareness and is related to the object oriented modelling approach for distributed systems.

Design of a multi-media vehicle for social browsing
TL;DR: A “social interface” is described which provides direct, low-cost access to other people through the use of multi-media communications channels, and the implications for CSCW of having automated social interaction available through the desktop workstation are examined.

The affordances of media spaces for collaboration
TL;DR: In this article, the affordances offered by media spaces for collaboration are discussed, contrasting their properties with those of the everyday medium and exploring the implications for perception and interaction. But the authors do not consider how people use media spaces to collaborate.
