Abstract
The Nick Summer Experiment was an empirical study undertaken to explore and increase the understanding of the use of prototype meeting support technology by software design teams working on high-level design problems. Three teams of seven designers each were observed and videotaped while participating in 27 1-h, face-to-face design meetings in both the electronic meeting room and in a conventional meeting room. The Nick support technologies explicitly aided the affective social meeting structures as well as the rational task-oriented processes. The analysis of the experimental data revealed some gains in meeting effectiveness and quality from use of the Nick meeting support technologies. The subchannel (messaging facility on the electronic workstations) emerged as a potentially effective way for participants to attain more equality and to influence the direction of the meetings. The electronic blackboard helped to increase group focus and attention on completing the task.<>
Nick Summer实验是一项实证研究,用于探索和增加软件设计团队对高层次设计问题使用原型会议支持技术的理解。在电子会议室和传统会议室中,研究人员观察了三个由七名设计师组成的团队,并对他们进行了27次1小时的面对面设计会议。Nick支持技术对情感社会会议结构和合理的任务导向过程有明显的帮助。对实验数据的分析揭示了使用Nick会议支持技术在会议效率和质量方面的一些收益。子通道(电子工作站的消息传递设施)的出现是与会者实现更大平等和影响会议方向的潜在有效途径。电子黑板有助于提高小组的注意力和完成任务的注意力。
