Introduction
What is collaboration?Activity that involves both interaction and effort to complete a common goal.
Can involve humans in groups, humans using computer systems, and computers working together.
Examples
Introduction
Why is collaboration important?Multi-disciplinary approaches to product design are prevalent.
Why is understanding collaboration important?To establish communication rules
which will enable ways of seamlessly introducing new technology into complex environments.
• Businesses are looking for these engineering design tools.
Introduction
Systems that network people together include:email
operating systems
world wide web
Collaboration environments involve:people from multi-disciplines
using tools
sometimes at great distances
Background
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research in 1970’s was a “point” system
try “____”, see if it works
Theory eventually developed from there
Collaboration field is going the same way as HCI did, except that it is still in point system
no good theory is around yet
Human to Human – Personal Issues
Individual vs. group situational awareness
Novice vs. expert issues
Imputed knowledge
Shared knowledge
Cognitive workload (or overhead)
Human to Human – Group Issues
Behavior as a group
Are N+1 heads better?
Unshared information
Seasoned vs. ad hoc groups
Task type
Human to Computer - Issues
Salience
Group Support Systems (GSS)
Distributed engineering
Supervisory control – example to follow
Task-artifact cycle/SA – example to follow
Supervisory control
Supporting Informed Consent in Human-Machine Collaboration: The Role of Conflict Type, Time Pressure, and Display Design
by Wesley A. Olson and Nadine B. Sarter
As technology changes a pilot’s role, they become the system’s manager while the plane flies itself.
Showed that pilots prefer “informed consent” over the data link, and improper instructions were difficult to detect prior to execution.
Task-Artifact Cycle/Situation Awareness
Exploring the Impact of Advanced Alarms, Displays, and Computerized Procedures on Teams by Emilie M. Roth and John M. O’Hara
This study examined the impact of introducing advanced human-system interfaces (HSI) into an ongoing field of practice (nuclear power plant control room).
Crew structure changed because members worked more in parallel
They had to consciously inform other crew members of their status
