Distant Work
Distant work is work conducted by a team not collocated, connected by technologies to communicate and create their work objects. By analyzing the coupling of the work, the skills of the manager, and the motivation, one can choose the right technologies and social practices to alleviate the myriad of challenges
How to make distance work work
insights Distance still matters, but it matters less. there are four stubborn problems that affect distance collaborations: out of sight out of mind, trust, culture, and time zones. informed selection of a suite of technologies can make a big difference in effective distance collaborations
Supporting Scientific Collaboration
Timelinesthe Information School Phenomenon
Gary Olson recently moved to UCI from the University of Michigan, where as faculty member and acting dean, he participated in the formation of its influential School of Information, described in this article. I have helped track down historical information on other influential iSchools. We may be witnessing the birth of a new star in the academic firmament---its growth, so far only a little slower than a supernova, may be tested by the economic c…
From Shared Databases to Communities of Practice
Promoting affiliation between scientists is relatively easy, but creating larger organizational structures is much more difficult, due to traditions of scientific independence, difficulties of sharing implicit knowledge, and formal organizational barriers. The Science of Collaboratories (SOC) project conducted a broad five-year review to take stock of the diverse ecosystem of projects that fit our definition of a collaboratory and to distill less…

Distance Matters
Giant strides in information technology at the turn of the century may have unleashed unreachable goals. With the invention of groupware, people expect to communicate easily with each other and accomplish difficult work even though they are remotely located or rarely overlap in time. Major corporations launch global teams, expecting that technology will make "virtual collocation" possible. Federal research money encourages global science through …

"Commentary on "Damaged Merchandise
An interesting dialogue about the issues raised by Gray and Salzman surfaced in the first round of reviews, and it occurred to us that this dialogue could be of value to the readers of Human–Computer Interaction. We invited a number of people in the field to submit commentaries on the article. These were reviewed and revised, with all commentators seeing each others’ comments, as well as Gray and Salzman’s final article
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design in Software Project Teams
Characterizing the Sequential Structure of Interactive Behaviors Through Statistical and Grammatical Techniques
Statistical and grammatical techniques are reviewed as an integrated approach to exploratory sequential data analysis (ESDA) for categorical data. The first step is the identification and validation of the categories to be analyzed. The main statistical techniques discussed are log-linear modeling and lag sequential analysis. These methods allow for the statistical evaluation of a wide range of general and specific hypotheses about sequential str…
Small Group Design Meetings
The development of schemes to support group work, whether behavioral methods or new technologies like groupware, should be based on detailed knowledge about how groups work, what they do well, and what they have trouble with. Such data can be used to suggest what kinds of tools people might need as well as to provide a baseline for evaluating the effects of schemes for improvement. We present details of how real groups engage in a representative …
