Survey on Collaborative Awareness Model for CSCW and Trends of the New Age

Abstract:

Currently Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) has become an important area of research in computer science. The main purpose of CSCW system is to support people interact cooperation, and collaborative awareness between users must be the basis for multi-user collaborative work, and each user's behavior or the operation of the shared object should be immediately perceived by other users. Therefore, collaborative awareness is one of the key issues to be resolved in CSCW system. In this paper, collaborative awareness models are the object of study, and we discussed the collaborative awareness models respectively based on space, role and event, and a lot of critical theories and techniques about them. The analysis of existing theory helped us to further understand various collaborative awareness models, to study the development trend of them, and establish the appropriate framework for collaborative awareness.
