Being aware of others' activities plays a vital role in the success
of online collaboration. As a result, many groupware systems
nowadays provide information about collaboration activities in
various forms. However, all of them tend to overburden the user
with large amounts of unnecessary information. This happens because
most of the time users are only interested in certain pieces of
information for limited duration, while presently there exist no
efficient mechanism for automatically following a user's focus and
adjusting the information flow directed at him. In this book the
author presents as a practical solution to this problem the dynamic
awareness system (DAS), which extends the functionality of the BSCW
shared workspace system. A key element of the DAS is its rule-based
inference mechanism for adjusting the notification intensity, thus
reducing the overall information overload. This indirectly allows
users to both keep better track of relevant events and manage the
shared data more efficiently. The effectiveness of the DAS was
tested under real-life circumstances and the evaluation results are
also described in this book.
