ABSTRACT

Although individual use of computers is fairly widespread, in meetings we tend to leave them behind. At Xerox PARC, an experimental meeting room called the Colab has been created to study computer support of collaborative problem solving in face-to-face meetings. The long-term goal is to understand how to build computer tools to make meetings more effective.

REVIEW

"Joel D. Aron : Reviewer"

In one class of meetings, a small group works together (preferably face-to-face) to produce a report, a design, or a decision. At Xerox PARC, an experimental facility (Colab) has been set up to determine whether computer support can improve this  more...
