Abstract

Support for awareness in collaborative systems is becoming a popular idea, but awareness is not a concept that is easily used by groupware designers. We describe workspace awareness, one variety of awareness in shared spaces, and our efforts to operationalize it for use in groupware design. We outline elements and mechanisms of workspace awareness as a starting point for exploring information requirements, and note several issues that complicate the search for awareness design principles.
