With the development of networked computing and the increased
complexity of applications and software systems development, the
importance of computer-supported collaborative work CSCW] has
dramatically increased. Globalization has further accentuated the
necessity of collaboration, while the Web has made geographically
distributed collaborative systems technologically feasible in a
manner that was impossible until recently. The software
environments needed to support such distributed teams are referred
to as Groupware. Groupware is intended to address the logistical,
managerial, social, organizational and cognitive difficulties that
arise in the application of distributed expertise. These issues
represent the fundamental challenges to the next generation of
process management.
Computer-Supported Collaboration with Applications to Software
Development reviews the theory of collaborative groups and the
factors that affect collaboration, particularly collaborative
software development. The influences considered derive from diverse
sources: social and cognitive psychology, media characteristics,
the problem-solving behavior of groups, process management, group
information processing, and organizational effects. It also surveys
empirical studies of computer-supported problem solving, especially
for software development. The concluding chapter describes a
collaborative model for program development.
Computer-Supported Collaboration with Applications to Software
Development is designed for an academic and professional market in
software development, professionals and researchers in the areas of
software engineering, collaborative development, management
information systems, problem solving, cognitive and social
psychology. This book also meets the needs of graduate-level
students in computer science and information systems.
