Ewall: Electronic Card Wall: Computational Support for Collaborative Decision-Making
Abstract:
This effort is aimed at exploring computational opportunities for utilizing theories of team-collaboration. We introduce a first Framework for monitoring, assessing and measuring team-collaborative processes. The Framework helps explain team-collaborative processes as combinations of multiple Methods that can be studied individually or in combination. We also introduce a second Framework for describing, analyzing and developing team-collaborative scenarios, experiments and use-cases. The second Framework is designed to evaluate and study Methods in particular situations. Furthermore, we demonstrate opportunities for translating Methods into computational agents that can analyze and support team collaboration and knowledge management. A hypothetical scenario is used to demonstrate and explain the use of Methods and the conceptualization of computational agents.
