Reasoning about tasks, activities and technology to support collaboration
Article Abstract:
Semi-synchronized activity as an aspect of collaboration was described as a challenge for the task analysis of collaborative work. A number of case studies were analyzed to show the relationship between awareness and synchronization in collaborative work. They illustrated that an analysis of collaborative activity requires a consideration of various factors such as activities constituting work, access to these activities, environment where the activities are carried out and constraints that apply to the accessibility and participation in these environments.

System response time and readiness for task execution - the optimum duration of inter-task delays
Article Abstract:
The ability of an optimum duration of inter-task system response times (SRT) to aid users in achieving a perfect readiness for task execution is systematically investigated. Three SRT duration conditions, namely, short, medium and long, were applied in a balanced repeated measures design. Medium SRTs are observed to enable the attainment of optimum readiness for task execution.
