TR048: Collaborative Information Systems
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The creation of a product is a complex, highly-interdependent process. Typically, no individual possesses all of the required knowledge and skills, so design teams that include participants from each required domain are formed to collaborate and jointly create a single product. As projects become increasing complex, additional participants are added to the team. While this approach supplies the needed expertise, it also introduces a significant coordination burden and decreases the overall efficiency of the process. This report explores how a collaborative information system (CIS) can be used to reduce this coordination cost and contrasts the limitations encountered as this model is applied to different industries.
