Abstract :
Effective regulation of joint activity requires awareness of and coordination with partners at many levels. Our research focuses on understanding and supporting awareness in relatively large and complex activities such as emergency management, software development, information analysis, and education. We describe patterns and issues in the development of activity awareness, and approaches to supporting awareness with tools and methods.
