“…In [21] we reported on user feedback concerning the use of edit profiles as a tool that delivers awareness information. However, users also expressed their concerns considering the invasion of their privacy when involved in such collaboration situations.…”

When involved in collaborative tasks, users often choose to use multi-synchronous applications in order to concurrently work in isolation. Hence, privacy of their changes is maintained until they decide to publish their contributions. Not being aware of changes made by their collaborators, they often create concurrent modifications which might generate conflicts or lead to redundant work. We propose an awareness mechanism that solves this problem by computing and providing awareness in multi-synchronous collaboration while at the same time respecting user privacy by allowing users to specify the detail of information made available to their collaborators. The computation of awareness is based on metrics that measure the effect of changes for the different types of changes, on the different syntactic document levels and document parts. For the visualisation of awareness, we employ the concept of edit profiles.

“…We used this mechanism to extend an existing asynchronous collaborative text application to provide awareness information. We conducted a user study [8] to test our hypothesis that the resulting application provide increased awareness information and received positive feedback from the participants. We then applied the mechanism to a semi-synchronous collaborative text editor [9] and an asynchronous collaborative graphical editor [10].…”

Abstract. Systems that support the co-authoring of web sites often allow users to freely edit pages. This can result in semantic inconsistencies within and between pages. We propose a change awareness mechanism that monitors intra-and inter-document edits, taking into account changes made to a page and pages connected to it through html or transclusion links. The effect of all the changes is computed based on various metrics and on different semantic levels according to user preferences. A visualisation tool indicates how much a document and documents linked to it have changed. An edit profile allows users to easily spot parts with "interesting" changes within web pages.
