Proposing a new paradigm for Computer Supported Cooperative Work
(CSCW), this ground-breaking book presents a research agenda for
developing and testing that paradigm. It constitutes the first
attempt to outline a comprehensive model of collaboration that
integrates the cognitive/conceptual and social dynamics of groups.
br br The challenge faced by all groups engaged in intellectual
work is, on the one hand, to divide the task so that efforts of i
individual members /i may proceed in parallel and, on the other
hand, to synthesize their separate contributions to form a coherent
whole. Addressing this challenge, Smith examines the general form
of a theory of computer-based collaboration that extends across
different tasks and working situations. He uses the work of Newell,
Simon, and Anderson as a base from which to consider a group as a
form of distributed information processing system. Within groups,
there are constructs analogous to human long-term and short-term
memory, conceptual processes, and problem solving and
knowledge-construction strategies. He discusses two metacognitive
issues -- awareness and control -- as they occur in collaborative
behavior. And he reviews a number of advanced computer systems that
support collaboration, focusing on their impact on the thinking and
behavior of groups. br br Smith's theoretical framework combines
elements of Information Processing System theory -- and its
detailed process models of cognitive behavior -- with the situated
perspective of activity theory. The book suggests new and useful
ways of conceiving problems and solutions to all those interested
in the ways in which people interact with each other and with
computers to achievegoals. br
