Common Ground in Geocollaboration

Abstract

Project Objectives. Investigate a collaborative workspace that provides: * multiple role-specific views and team view * geo-spatial planning task * Integrate research from Information Visualization and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work * Prototype for geo-collaborative tactical operations planning; use our open-source collaborative infrastructure * Define measures for evaluating common ground in experimental settings * Articulate relationships between common ground and other computer-supported collaboration constructs. Research Question: How can collaborative construction of a geo-spatial plan visualization ameliorate problems of too much and too little common ground?
