Roles in Meetings
-----------------
From: lampert@uri.csmil.umich.edu (Robin Lampert)
Subject: Literature on Roles in Meetings
Date: 18 Jun 92 00:24:34 GMT
Organization: Cognitive Science and Machine Intelligence Lab, U. of Michigan

--- Purpose of Post
A few months ago, I posted asking for for information or references
to empirical or observational research on the role or activities that
people fulfill in work-group meetings (e.g., recording decisions,
avoiding digressions, keeping the agenda).  This posting is about some of
the information I've found.  (There's more, but this was already way to 
long.)

--- About the Literature
* Much of the literature on groups comes from the 1950's and 60's.
  There's a current resurgence of interest in groups and teams.
* Much of the work from the '50s & '60 was done by people affiliated
  with the National Training Laboratories (NTL).
* There are several very different definitions of "role" in the
  literature.  McGrath describes five diffent sets of literature about
  "roles".
* There are hundreds, if not thousands, of books with advice on how to
  hold a meeting.
* There is very little empirical work on groups, meetings and roles.
  (In fact, I probably found as many comments lamenting this fact, as
  articles or books reporting data and results.)

--- What's Included Here
Since I'm still making my way through what I'm finding, I can't
personally recommend all of the following list.  It is an edited
list of responses (from both usenet and other sources -- discussions
with various faculty members, library searches).  I have tried to weight
it towards the most frequently/highly recommended books.  I have
not included the "how to" books.

--- Top Three
Probably the most commonly mentioned authors were Bales, Hackman
and McGrath.  (Note:  The call numbers may not be exactly right,
but they're close.  The UofM libraries sometimes use a slightly
different call number than the standard.)  Some of their works
are:

transmission of information in experimental and natural small groups.

If you don't mind going back a few years, you will find some good
ideas in the Role Theory chapter in the Handbook of Social Psychology,
G. Lindzey and E. Aronson (Eds.) Volume 1, 1968  The chapter written
by V. Allen and T. R. Sarbin mentions briefly the work of Bales, who
was the most influential researcher in the 50s and 60s.

Also  Mann, R. D., Gibbard,G.S and Hartman, J.J.(1967)

I suggest you scan recent editions of the Annual Review of
Psychology for reviews of group process research.

Graduate course in CSCW
-----------------------

From: saul@cpsc.UCalgary.ca (Saul Greenberg)
Subject: Course on groupware
Date: 10 Jun 92 07:58:10 GMT

I taught a graduate course in CSCW this past fall, in the Department of
Computer Science at U of Calgary.  I used a reading list instead of a a text
(enclosed below), and some students presented their own papers not included
in the list. (Videos of systems were also shown).  The critical component 
for learning were the extensive discussions we had.

Student assignments were:
 -presentation and leading discussions of papers in class
 -critical review of 4 papers
 -in-depth critical review of an area
 -a project, usually involving system building or evaluation
Projects included things like:
 -evaluating use of mail, especially on how messages are
  related to each other
 -implementation of a system that displays who is around, and
  connecting appropriate media channels
 -foundations of a groupware toolkit
 and so on.

The course worked out really well. The readings were also reasonable,
although I would probably change some of them.

is seperated by an underline.

Abstract

Network-based virtual worlds allow multiple
virtual worlds connected on a network to
share information with one another. The
development effort required to produce a
network-based virtual world is quite large.
The BrickNet toolkit simplifies this
development by providing the standard
facilities required by a wide range of
network-based virtual worlds. It provides
support for graphical, behavioral and
network modeling of virtual worlds in an
object-oriented fashion. BrickNet enables
graphical objects to be maintained, managed,
and used efficiently, and permits objects to be
shared by multiple virtual worlds. In this
paper, the architecture and implementation of
BrickNet are described.

I recently read an interesting series of articles on VR in the October
1993 issue of IEEE Spectrum.  On page 30, one of the articles in the
series (entitled "A 'Room' with a 'View'") talks about a research
project, at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory of the University
of Illinois at Chicago, called the Cave.  To quote the short
introduction to the article:

 "To match virtual reality to real tasks, researchers built
  a smoothly functioning walk-in system mostly from off-the-shelf
  components."

You could take a look in /pub/MultiG at ftp.kth.se.  The MultiG project has
generated some papers on CSCW and VR.  Unfortunately not everything is in 
the ftp archive.  You could also talk to Lennart E Fahlen <lef@sics.se> who 
can point you to further research.

Applied Business teleCommunication's (ABC)has just released its "Desktop
Videoconferencing Report" .  

The report is a 3-ring binder that is updated quarterly.  It includes essays
from industry leaders, comparative product matricies and individual write-ups
on products and manufacturer and distributor contact listings.  

The report is $150 and includes the initial binder and 3 quarterly updates.


Volume 1, Quarter 1 includes:
Section 1 - Introduction
                - Editorial Advisory Board
                - Industry/Vendor Contact list
                - Glossary of Desktop videoconferencing Terminology
Section 2 - Essays
                - Desktop Videoconferencing:  An Introduction
                - Personal Video Communications: Desktop Videoconferencing     
  
                   and Consumer Videotelephony
                - Networking Approaches
                - Desktop Video for Instruction
Section 3 - Product Reports
Section 4 - Matrix Comparison Charts
                - Features

 You also might want to look at the following reference:

Smolensky, Bell, Fox, King & Lewis, "Constraint-Based Hypertext for
Argumentation" in _Hypertext '87 Proceedings_, ACM, 1989.

 A gIBIS paper follows Smolensky et al.  A third paper by
Catherine Marshall involving modeling of a type of policy decision-
making process is also included in those Proceedings, and would also
probably be of interest.
