People in Network, Collaboration for Action: New Supporting Requirements

In large-scale collaboration domains, social networks can be a suitable model for allowing people to collaborate in performing collective actions, not only for producing work but also to achieve common and broader objectives. In a previous work, an environment was proposed aiming at supporting specific collaboration requirements for social networks. In this work, these requirements were explored further, searching for an environment that could both improve the initial proposal and to improve social network support in a research project context - RCC-Sw, which aims at defining a social network for software engineering professionals.
