Abstract:

Group Support Systems GSS have experienced tremendous growth during the 1980s. Group Decision Support systems GDSS, Negotiation Support Systems NSS and Computer Supported Collaborative Work CSCW systems are examples of the acronyms that represent the application of computer technology to group work. As the GSS field is in a period of rapid growth, it is difficult to keep abreast of the existing literature, current research, issues and future trends. This thesis provides a short tutorial on GSS, reviews existing GSS taxonomies, identifies key research findings, issues, and future trends, and proposes a classification framework to aid in information retrieval from the extensive GSS literature database provided. Group Support Systems GSS, Group Decision Support Systems GDSS, Computer Supported Collaborative Work CSCW, Negotiation Support.
