Contents:
A perspective on technology-assisted collaboration / Wolfram Conen, Gustaf Neumann -- Coordination in knowledge-intensive organizations / Per Morten Schiefloe, Tor G. Syvertsen -- Co-ordination of management activities : mapping organisational structure to the decision structure / Peter Bernus, Gregory Uppington -- A cooperative approach to distributed applications engineering / George Fernandez, Inji Wijegunaratne -- Towards logic programming based coordination in virtual worlds / Paul Tarau, Veronica Dahl, Koen De Bosschere -- Enhancement of creative aspects of a daily conversation with a topic development agent / Kazushi Nishimoto, Yasuyuki Sumi, Kenji Mase -- Coordinating human and computer agents / Keith S. Decker -- Coordination in workflow management systems : a rule-based approach / Gerti Kappel, Stefan Rausch-Schott, Werner Retschitzegger -- A framework and mathematical model for collaboration technology / Clarence A. Ellis -- Practical experiences and requirements on workflow / Kwang-Hoon Kim, Su-Ki Pak -- Coordination science : challenges and directions / Mark Klein -- Supporting autonomous work and reintegration in collaborative systems / Michael Berger, Gerd Völksen, Alexander Schill -- Workspace awareness for distributed teams / Johann Schlichter, Michael Koch, Martin Bürger -- GeM and WeBUSE : towards a WWW-database interface / Madhav Sivadas, George Fernandez -- Post-client/server coordination tools / eva Kühn, George Nozicka -- An experimental delay analysis for local audio video streams for desktop collaborations / Doo-Hyun Kim [and others] -- Supporting both client-server and peer-to-peer models in a framework of a distributed object management system / Tonghyun Lee [and others].
Summary: Given the broad popularity of Internet technology, even in its present immature state, and also the recent progress made towards a human-centered view of information technology, the time now seems ripe to essentially extend the scope and power of enterprise information systems. This carefully arranged book concentrates on the relationships between coordination technology and business application requirements and introduces general elements of a cooperative infrastructure allowing for the construction of collaborative applications. It is essential reading for research and development professionals active in the area as well as for IT managers interested in applying this promising new technology in order to remain competitive in the future.
