Developing and Evaluating Collaborative Technologies

Abstract

A sociotechnical approach examining the impact of new technologies on a system is needed if we are to tailor future technologies to real world needs, and to provide useful guidance to designers and implementers of existing technologies. However, evaluating CSCW technologies is not a trivial undertaking. This paper considers the topic of assessing collaborative technologies in the context of military logistics. A historical view of collaborative research in military logistics is provided, as well as a discussion of current research aimed at developing a framework for assessing collaborative technologies.
