“…Geographically dispersed teams use a virtual place as a substitute to the physical space—a workspace. Workspaces are conceived as the logical counterpart of physical spaces and are based on physical metaphors 54–56. Like physical spaces, these workspaces are expected to include all the required objects, tools, people, and guidelines, along with all the necessary communication channels and coordination mechanisms.…”

SUMMARY A software architecture evaluation process requires a large number of stakeholders to be collocated for evaluation sessions. Given an increasing trend to using globally distributed software development teams, organizations are likely to be discouraged from introducing disciplined software architecture evaluation practices that require collocated stakeholders. To address this issue, we propose that a software architecture evaluation can be carried out using suitable groupware systems. In this paper, we present a framework for supporting the software architecture evaluation process using a groupware system. The framework highlights the changes that are required in the existing software architecture evaluation methods. We provide an illustrated example of modeling and mapping the activities of the presented process on electronic workspaces provided by a groupware system. We also identify some of the features that a groupware system should provide to successfully support the process. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…In this section, we present four frequently encountered situations in which collaborators are faced with reconciling awareness and privacy needs: making communication 3 choices, handling interruptions, working from home, and dealing with urgent matters. The following subsections describe how the framework presented above explains the privacy management actions that we encountered in these situations (the labels in italics indicate the applicable situational characteristics and interpretive influences).…”

“…Using such teams offers several advantages: opportunities to employ talent from across the world, possible expansion to distant markets, and savings in operating expenses and travel costs. At the same time, the physical [1,2] and/or temporal [3] separation in such teams poses several challenges when compared with conventional co-located collaboration. A crucial factor that impacts distributed collaborative activities is the impoverishment of interpersonal interactions (professional as well as social) and, consequently, reduced awareness of the activities of others [2,4].…”

Abstract. To understand how collaborators reconcile the often conflicting needs of awareness and privacy, we studied a large software development project in a multinational corporation involving individuals at sites in the U.S. and India. We present a theoretical framework describing privacy management practices and their determinants that emerged from field visits, interviews, and questionnaire responses. The framework identifies five relevant situational characteristics: issue(s) under consideration, physical place(s) involved in interaction(s), temporal aspects, affordances and limitations presented by technology, and nature of relationships among parties. Each actor, in turn, interprets the situation based on several simultaneous influences: self, team, work site, organization, and cultural environment. This interpretation guides privacy management action(s). Past actions form a feedback loop refining and/or reinforcing the interpretive influences. The framework suggests that effective support for privacy management will require that designers follow a socio-technical approach incorporating a wider scope of situational and interpretive differences.

“…Awareness has been identified as important in the development of collaborative activities because individual contributions may be improved by the understanding of the activities of the whole group [4,19]. To this end, it is important to have information about the evolution of shared data, users' actions and motivations,… In asynchronous collaborative activities, awareness information plays a central role in collaboration allowing each user to take notice of new contributions from other users.…”

In asynchronous collaborative applications, users usually collaborate accessing and modifying shared information independently. We have designed and implemented a replicated object store to support such applications in distributed environments that include mobile computers. Unlike most data management systems, awareness support is integrated in the system. To improve the chance for new contributions, the system provides high data availability. The development of applications is supported by an object framework that decomposes objects in several components, each one managing a different aspect of object "execution." New data types may be created relying on pre-defined components to handle concurrent updates, awareness information, etc.
