From this, potential criteria are identified which support awareness in collaborative authoring. Existing tools (analysis) are compared using these criteria. Finally, a prototype system, CAWS (Co-Authoring Wiki based System), is described. This system is designed to enhance users' awareness in order to improve productivity in collaborative development of documents. Experiments will lead to a greater understanding of the quantitative effects of awareness on collaboration.","PeriodicalId":403907,"journal":{"name":"Doctoral Consortium Papers of the 2007 ACM International Conference on Supporting Group Work","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123943002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their use in organizations is becoming more frequent; however, repository users are not always able to effectively find and access information, especially when files in the repository have been created and maintained by others. Through field studies involving current users of shared file repositories, I will document and analyze the scope and consequences of the problem. In addition, I will test hypotheses about possible remedies through a series of experiments exploring the effects of common ground on folder hierarchy and naming structure, and the ability of users to find and access files in group information management systems.","PeriodicalId":403907,"journal":{"name":"Doctoral Consortium Papers of the 2007 ACM International Conference on Supporting Group Work","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121192699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
