TITLE = {The {EGRET} Project: Exploring Open, Evolutionary, and Emergent Collaborative Systems},
YEAR = 1991,
Summary = {The EGRET Project at the University of Hawaii is pursuing a research
program designed to investigate evolution in collaborative systems.
Evolution is of central concern due to the exploratory nature of many
CSCW application areas, including software development, document
preparation, issue generation and discussion, and so forth. In
exploratory domains, the ill-defined or changing nature of both the
problem and an acceptable solution to it impose special demands. For
example, the criteria for an acceptable solution, or the solution
generation method may be an an emergent property of the exploratory
process. This paper discusses our research paradigm and initial progress.}

abstract = {Exploratory collaboration occurs in domains where the structure and process
of group work evolves as an intrinsic part of the collaborative activity.
Traditional database and hypertext structural models do not provide
explicit support for collaborative exploration. The EGRET framework
defines both a data and a process model along with supporting analysis
techniques that provide novel support for exploratory collaboration. To do
so, the EGRET framework breaks with traditional notions of the relationship
between schema and instance structure. In EGRET, schema structure is
viewed as a representation of the current state of consensus among
collaborators, from which instance structure is allowed to depart in a
controlled fashion. This paper discusses the issues of exploratory
collaboration, the EGRET approach to its support, and the current status of
this research.}

abstract = {Scientific learning and research are becoming increasingly
computerized. More and more such activities are mediated through
electronic artifacts. This paper presents an artifact-based system
called COREVIEW, to be used in the domain of research seminars. The
emphasis of our approach is on the centrality of textualized artifacts
in seminar activities, the relationship between different types of
artifacts, and the dynamic interactions among them over time. Our
system provides explicit representation of research artifacts and their
structures, and support for the process of collaborative artifact
generation, integration, manipulation and utilization.},

MONTH = {July},
TITLE = {Collaborative Software Review for Capturing Design Rationale},
KEYWORDS = {CSRS, Publications-Workshops},
YEAR = 1992,
summary = {This paper discusses connections between
collaborative software review and design rationale. Not
surprisingly, collaborative software review activities provide an
excellent source of design rationale information, since analysis of
artifacts under review often involves design justifications and
alternatives. Also, software reviews form an interesting point
at which to take a discrete ``snapshot'' in the historical record of
design, since they tend to take place only when the software is in a
relatively consistent and coherent state. Finally, an exploratory
focus upon collaborative software review leads to a interesting variation on concurrent orientations
toward design and implementation.},

summary = {Research literature is not merely a formal vehicle for disseminating the
results of scientific research; it is also an important learning resource
for advanced learners (e.g., graduate students) and beginning researchers.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the structural and
process-level characteristics of research review as a collaborative
activity, and to develop computational mechanisms to facilitate such a
process. This paper briefly summarizes our ongoing efforts of developing a
software environment, called COREVIEW, for supporting collaborative
research review.}

TITLE = {Improving Software Quality through Computer Supported Collaborative Review},
YEAR = 1993,
abstract = {Formal technical review (FTR) is a cornerstone of software quality
assurance. However, the labor intensive and manual nature of review, along
with basic unresolved questions about its process and products, means that
review is typically under-utilized or inefficiently applied within the
software development process. This paper introduces CSRS, a
computer-supported cooperative work environment for software review that
improves the efficiency of review activities and supports empirical
investigation of the appropriate parameters for review. The paper presents
a typical scenario of CSRS in review, its data and process model,
application to process maturation, relationship to other research, current
status, and future directions.},

fundamental to machine learning, as shown by AI researchers, but also
essential to human learning, in particular, human metalearning. Few
existing learning support systems, however, provide representations which
help the learner make sense of and organize the subject content of
learning, integrate a wide range of classroom activities, (e.g., reading,
reviewing, writing, discussion), and compare and contrast various
viewpoints from individual learners. It is our primary purpose to
construct an example instance of such a representation, and to show that
useful computational manipulations can be performed on it, and that the
combination of the representation and related computational services can
actually lead to the improved learner's performance on selected
collaborative learning tasks.},

SUMMARY = {This paper concerns collaborative learning as an active knowledge

representation in achieving a high-level collaborative support. Our central
claim is that the presence of an expressive and usable representation,
combined with necessary computational support, can significantly enhance
the learners' performance in understanding the subject content of learning
artifacts, integrating various classroom activities, and relating different
viewpoints held by other learners. First, we propose a representational
framework, called RESRA, which characterizes the thematic structure of
learning and research artifacts. We then develop a computer-based tool,
called CLARE, that facilitates the use of RESRA for various collaborative
learning tasks, such as evaluating existing work (e.g., papers, programs,
design) or constructing new work. We also design a set of experiments which
will allow us to empirically assess the effectiveness of CLARE and our
research claims.},

abstract = {Exploratory collaboration occurs in domains where the structure and process

Traditional database and hypertext structural models do not provide
explicit support for collaborative exploration. EGRET is an implemented
environment for the development of domain-specific collaborative systems
that defines a novel data and a process model along with services for
exploratory collaboration. To accomplish this, EGRET departs from
traditional notions of the relationship between schema and instance
structure. In EGRET, schema structure is viewed as a representation of the
current state of consensus among collaborators, from which instance
structure is allowed to depart in a controlled fashion. To provide such
exploratory services in a responsive interactive environment, EGRET
implements specialized architectural mechanisms. This paper presents the
concepts and implications of exploratory collaboration, followed by the
design and implementation of EGRET. The paper concludes with our results
to date, which demonstrate that EGRET succeeds in providing useful services
for exploratory collaboration, through interesting technical and cultural
issues remain to be addressed before exploratory collaboration can become
commonplace in CSCW systems.}

YEAR = 1993,
SUMMARY = {Formal technical review (FTR) encompasses a range of structured,
collaborative methods employing technical personnel to improve the quality
of a software development artifact. Research shows that FTR, when
appropriately practiced, provides significant benefits. However, research
also shows that FTR introduces substantial new overhead, and that its
cost-effectiveness is easily compromised by a variety of group process
obstacles. In addition, current FTR practice is difficult and costly to
investigate effectively, and thus many important questions about its nature
and comparative effectiveness remain unanswered.
This document presents a research agenda intended to address problems in
both the practice and research of FTR through CSRS (Collaborative
Software Review System), an instrumented, computer-supported cooperative
work environment. CSRS provides automated support for many time consuming
aspects of FTR, avoids many group process problems inherent in traditional,
manual review, and captures unique, high quality empirical data about the
process and products of FTR.
The research agenda includes:
(1) Controlled experimental laboratory studies on automated FTR support.
(2) Technology transfer of CSRS to selected industrial sites.
(3) Development of a domain-specific version of CSRS for C++ software.
(4) Creation of a CSRS consortium for collaborative FTR research between
industry and academia.},

MONTH = {May},
ABSTRACT ={This dissertation presents a computer-based collaborative learning
environment, called CLARE, that is based on the theory of learning as
collaborative knowledge building. It addresses the question, "what can a
computer do for a group of learners beyond helping them share information?"
CLARE differs from virtual classrooms and hypermedia systems in three ways.
First, CLARE is grounded on the theory of meaningful learning, which
focuses the role of meta-knowledge in human learning. Instead of merely
allowing learners to share information, CLARE provides an explicit
meta-cognitive framework, called RESRA, to help learners interpret
information and build knowledge. Second, CLARE defines a new group process,
called SECAI, that guides learners to systematically analyze, relate, and
discuss scientific text through a set of structured steps: summarization,
evaluation, comparison, argumentation, and integration. Third, CLARE
provides a fine-grained, non-obtrusive instrumentation mechanism that
keeps track of the usage process of its users. Such data forms an important
source of feedback for enhancing the system and a basis for rigorously
studying collaboration learning behaviors of CLARE users.
CLARE was evaluated through sixteen usage sessions involving six groups of
students from two classes. The experiments consist of a total of about 300
hours of usage and over 80,000 timestamps. The survey shows that about 70%
of learners think that CLARE provides a novel way of understanding
scientific text, and about 80% of learners think that CLARE provides a
novel way of understanding their peers' perspectives. The analysis of the
CLARE database and the process data also reveals that learners differ
greatly in theirinterpretations of RESRA, strategies for comprehending the
online text, and understanding of the selected artifact. It also found
that, despite the large amount of time spent on summarization, up to 66% of
these learners often fail to correctly represent important features of
scientific text and the relationships between those features. Implications
of these findings at the design, empirical, and pedagogical levels are
discussed.},

ABSTRACT = {The importance and benefits of formal technical review (FTR) as a
method to improve software quality have
been well documented, and yet there is a proliferation of the methods in
practice with varying degrees of success. Worse, the same methods are
often practiced inconsistently and the contribution of various review
factors on review outcomes is also not currently understood.
This research proposes a new approach to assess and study the
cost-effectiveness of various review factors. Our basic approach is to
first develop a framework that allows one to classify the similarities
and differences of existing FTR methods from the perspective of their
review processes.
Specifically, the framework looks into important review factors that
characterize a review process, such as the objective of a particular
phase within the review process, the interaction mode among review
participants and the technique being used during the phase.
Second, we will
develop a computer assisted review system, namely, CSRS version 3.0,
that can be used as an experimental testbed for empirically evaluating
different FTR factors that may impact the methods.
Finally, we will design a control experiment to answer an important
initial question concerning the cost-effectiveness of three different
examination techniques commonly used in existing FTR methods: free
review technique, selective test cases technique and stepwise
verification technique.},

TITLE = {From Principle-centered to Organization-centered Design: A Case Study of Evolution in a Computer-Supported Formal Technical Review Environment},

KEYWORDS = {CSRS},

ABSTRACT = { Design of new computer-based environments to replace or augment
traditional, manual work procedures is typically problematic due to
its experimental and embedded nature: the requirements for the
computer-based version of the task may not be well defined, and the
outcome of introducing computer-based support may well change the
nature of the task altogether.
This paper illustrates these issues through a discussion of the
evolution in the design of CSRS, an instrumented, computer-supported
cooperative work environment for formal technical review. CSRS was
originally designed in response to well-recognized shortcomings in
traditional, non-computer-based formal technical review methods. The
initial design was thus founded upon a principle-centered basis,
where the system was oriented toward solving known problems in the
domain of formal technical review. Over time, the design has evolved
toward a more organization-centered basis, in which the system is
oriented toward support for adoption and use within organizations, even
if that support conflicts with the ``principles'' of formal technical
review. We conjecture that such an evolution may be inevitable in
experimental and embedded design domains. },

ABSTRACT = {Organizations are formed to accomplish a goal or mission, where
individual members do their part and make a combined effort leading
toward this goal. As the organization grows in size, the level of
community inevitably deteriorates.
This research will investigate the strengths and weaknesses of a
computer-based approach to improving the sense of community within one
organization, the Department of Computer Science at the University of
Hawaii. We will assess the current level of community by administering
a questionnaire to members of the department. Next, we will introduce
a World Wide Web information system for and about the department in an
effort to impact the level of community that exists. We will then
administer another questionnaire to assess the level of community
within the department after a period of use with the information
system. We will analyze the results of both questionnaires and usage
statistics logged by the system.},
