Collaboration in distributed mixed reality (MR) creates co-presence illusions by bringing a digital representation of the remote collaborator into the local user’s physical space. However, constraints in each physical environment, such as different ...

The Covid-19 pandemic has strongly increased the relevance of remote collaboration such that online meetings are now well-established in many companies. However, the corresponding tools usually fail to share 3D content. Although Extended Reality (...

Synthesis — the construction of a new conceptual whole that advances understanding — is critical for research progress. Its current practice is also extremely laborious and costly. In this paper, we explore what fresh ideas CSCW might have to offer for ...

With the emergence of social coding platforms, collaboration has become a key and dynamic aspect to the success of software projects. In such platforms, developers have to collaborate and deal with issues of collaboration in open‐source software ...

The paper investigates the perceptions of open‐source software developers on collaborations. Following an ad hoc literature review and an exploratory interview study with 12 developers, our novel approach also relies on an extensive survey with 121 ...

This paper explores the role of live streaming in distributed collaborative software development using indie game development, an end-user driven creative community, as an example. We conducted 27 in-depth interviews with indie game developers from ...

Citizen science project leaders collecting field data in a hyperlocal community often face common socio-technical challenges, which can potentially be addressed by sharing innovations across different groups through peer-to-peer collaboration. However, ...

While 5G facilitates high-speed Internet access and makes over-the-horizon control a reality for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), there are also potential security and privacy considerations, for example, authentication among drones. The centralized ...

Augmented Reality (AR) applications can enable geographically distant users to collaborate using shared video feeds or interactive 3D holograms, and may be particularly useful in the socially distant context of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, a good user ...

In globally distributed software development, many software developers have to collaborate and deal with issues of collaboration. Although collaboration is challenging, collaborative development produces better software than any developer could produce ...

Wilderness search and rescue (WSAR) requires careful communication between workers in different locations. To understand the contexts from which WSAR workers communicate and the challenges they face, we interviewed WSAR workers and observed a mock-WSAR ...

Fork-based development is a lightweight mechanism that allows developers to collaborate with or without explicit coordination. Although it is easy to use and popular, when developers each create their own fork and develop independently, their ...

Handheld Augmented Reality (AR) displays offer a see-through option to create the illusion of virtual objects being integrated into the viewer's physical environment. Some AR display technologies also allow for the deactivation of the see-through option,...

With visual analysis of a large IoT system where structured and unstructured datasets are collected from various distributed data sources or their edge processing units, it is analytically meaningful to have an integrated visualization composed of ...

Wilderness search and rescue (SAR) is a critical operation that requires careful team collaboration. Even with current technologies, SAR workers still face communication difficulties when working outside in challenging conditions. The goal of my thesis ...

In real-life escape rooms, players try to escape a locked room by solving a series of puzzles. Currently, escape rooms involve collocated collaboration; however, there is potential for them to be distributed. We explored the design of a distributed ...

Workspace awareness is crucial for collaborative Web tools and well studied. Encapsulating awareness information as widgets supports changing runtime requirements. With regard to platforms for the composition of individual collaborative applications, ...

Globally distributed collaboration requires cooperation and trust among team members. Current research suggests that informal, non-work related communication plays a positive role in developing cooperation and trust. However, the way in which teams ...

Collaboration is one of the most important topics regarding the evolution of the World Wide Web and thus also for the Web of Data. In scenarios of distributed collaboration on datasets it is necessary to provide support for multiple different versions ...

In recent years, distributed intelligent microelectromechanical systems (DiMEMSs) have appeared as a new form of distributed embedded systems. DiMEMSs contain thousands or millions of removable autonomous devices, which will collaborate with each other ...

Coordination is critical in distributed collaborative analysis of multidimensional data. Collaborating analysts need to understand what each person has done and what avenues of analysis remain uninvestigated in order to effectively coordinate their ...
