    Analysing dependencies between documentary fragments for the management of mediated communities of action
    (AIM 2006 – Information Systems and Collaboration: State of the Art and Perspectives (AIM), 2006) Prat, Nicolas; Zacklad, Manuel
    This paper focuses on situations where documents serve to coordinate a distributed Community of Action engaged in a common goal-directed activity. In such contexts, a document appears as a set of fragments contributed by various authors. Furthermore, it is possible to analyse the traces of collective activity left in documents. This analysis may serve several purposes. Among other things, it may be used to understand the evolution of the cognitive and social dynamics of the community. After justifying the choice of the DofA (Documents for Action) conceptual framework, we elaborate a UML-based model of DofA. We use this model as a structure for conceptually representing traces of mediated collective activities. We pursue with the issue of dependency analysis and measurement, which leads us to propose specific dependencies in the context of DofA. We illustrate the early steps of an application to a scenario of collective writing. Finally, we discuss further research directions suggested by our approach, which analyses and measures dependencies from traces of mediated collective activity.

    Analysis of collaborative tools usages in heterogeneous contexts.
    (AIM 2006 – Information Systems and Collaboration: State of the Art and Perspectives (AIM), 2006) Ouni, Ali; Bocquet, Jean-Claude; Bonnivard, Daniele
    Situations of collaborative working are more and more complex and various in organizations. Such diversification is little studied in the literature. Researches about °technologies usages° in °collaborative situations° mainly focus on specific contexts where a given group is using a specific technology. In this paper, we focus on the richness of a real world environnement of collaboration technologies' implementation, where different groups are working in various contexts (profession, localizations, tasks, etc) and using different tools. We propose a model to analyze usages and to bring with patterns in such complexity. First, we propose a brief introduction about the notion of "usage". In the second section, we present a research framework obtained by the integration of elements from different models and disciplines. The model was applied to analyze collaborative work tools usage in a French automotive company. As result, this study allowed us to map a global tools usage description, identify user groups' configurations, their needs, practices and usages.

    Challenging CSCW in an innovation network context
    (AIM 2006 – Information Systems and Collaboration: State of the Art and Perspectives (AIM), 2006) Hanser, Damien; Rousseau, Anne
    Today, innovation networks are economically and technologically accessible [VBE04]; however, managers and members of such organizations notice that success and performance are not automatically given. More to this, practitioners point out that the collaboration processes are the actual challenge in the management of a networked organization. This paper summarizes the results of a research project that addresses these issues. The project aims to identify a set of indicators, leverage factors and software functionalities, which facilitate the management of the collaboration related processes in networks. The outcome is a framework for the analysis of networked organisations that helps to take the right strategic choices.

    Collaboration and technologies: which organizational practices?
    (AIM 2006 – Information Systems and Collaboration: State of the Art and Perspectives (AIM), 2006) Baujard, Corinne
    While companies are more and more favorable to collaborative approaches between their services, reflections on learning to use technological tools rarely call into question new organizational models. In a field where many impressionistic approaches related to mere trends or finalized developments are to be found, technological tools may contribute to the development of the collaborative capacities of the firms and may also help to better apprehend organizational changes based on technologies. In this context, a comprehensive framework for the adoption of tools and for the functional integration of the company into its environment may be proposed, thanks to a series of interviews carried out with several international companies.

    Collaborative features in French public e-procurement
    (AIM 2006 – Information Systems and Collaboration: State of the Art and Perspectives (AIM), 2006) Assar, Saïd; Boughzala, Imed; Boughzala, Younès
    Public e-procurement is the use of electronic means for publishing, processing, exchanging and storing all the information related to institutional purchases and provisioning in public organizations. It requires complex technological tools which must comply with legal and organizational constraints. In this paper, we analyse cooperative aspects in public purchase processes through the detailed study and the modelling of a particular purchase procedure. The obtained model is used to identify all the stages and process steps likely to be virtualized1 through the use of electronic collaborative tools. This analysis is then the basis of a critical evaluation of five major e-procurement platforms currently used in France.

    Collaborative information system design
    (AIM 2006 – Information Systems and Collaboration: State of the Art and Perspectives (AIM), 2006) Bénaben, Frédérick; Touzi, Jihed; Rajsiri, Vatcharaphun; Pingaud, Hervé
    This article deals with enterprise interoperability in order to propose lines of research about information system design in a collaborative context. The static and dynamic dimensions of collaboration are exposed and discussed. The proposed IS design approach is based on process model translation. This article also presents several perspectives, especially about IS flexibility and process model liability.

    Composite indexes as metrics of cooperative activity
    (AIM 2006 – Information Systems and Collaboration: State of the Art and Perspectives (AIM), 2006) Otjacques, Benoît; Noirhomme, Monique; Figueiredo, José; Feltz, Fernand
    This paper proposes a method based on composite indexes to reflect the level of computer-supported cooperative activity. This approach is innovative in the sense that it extends a purely quantitative approach with some qualitative contextual elements. Indeed, the indexes integrate two basic features of the computer-supported interactions within a group: the number of occurrences and the cooperative nature of the interactions. The paper describes the design of the indexes and shows their interest with simulated cases.

    Computer-supported cooperative work - concepts and trends
    (AIM 2006 – Information Systems and Collaboration: State of the Art and Perspectives (AIM), 2006) Koch, Michael; Gross Tom
    The research field Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is concerned with understanding social interaction and the design, development, and evaluation of technical systems supporting social interaction in teams and communities - or in other words it is about researching the use of computer-based technology for supporting collaboration. The field was coined in the 1980th by researchers from computer science, information science and social science. In this paper we will briefly introduce CSCW – its concepts and current trends - and thereby focus on the role of Informatics in the field – from application integration to ubiquitous user interfaces.

    Cooperation and coordination in virtual enterprises: the role of E-collaboration tools
    (AIM 2006 – Information Systems and Collaboration: State of the Art and Perspectives (AIM), 2006) Migliarese, Piero; Corvello, Vincenzo
    Virtual Enterprises are an emerging model for the organization of innovative enterprises. They are characterized by brief relationships and geographical dispersion of members. E-collaboration tools play a critical role in the integration of such organizational systems. In particular these tools support both cooperation and coordination. Cooperation has been defined as the problem of aligning goals among the members of an organization. Coordination, instead, includes those processes through which actors which share a common goal align their actions. Traditional organizations typically face these problems through slow and complex processes based on face to face interactions. Virtual enterprises, instead, have to develop techniques to rapidly integrate members which interact mainly through electronic channels. This paper discusses how e-collaboration tools can support cooperation and coordination in a virtual enterprise. The evolution of their role during a virtual enterprise life is described. Special attention is paid to the interaction between technological and organizational factors.
