Which of the following best describes what you are building for this program (please feel free to elaborate):
* a collaboration environment
* collaborative tool(s)
* infrastructure for collaborative environments
* tools to aid in development of collaborative systems or tools
* evaluation tools

Which of the following IC&V program objectives will your research results support:
* Reduce by an order of magnitude the time needed to generate collaborative applications
* Enable real-time discovery of relevant collaborators and information within a task
* Improve task-based performance of collaborators by two orders of magnitude
* Other: Improve group performance over the long term.

Who do you see as the users of your products--please give more specifics, if possible:
* DOD:
* Office workers:
* Managers:
* Scientific Researchers:
* Software Engineers:

When will your research "product" be ready to share with potential end users (in the lab, in the field:)
* Within 1-2 years
* More than 2 years from now

What information from potential end users would assist you in developing and refining your system?
Identification and measures of group effects such as information loss, process failure.

When evaluating the utility of your product, what will be your measures of success?
1. Outcome 2. Information retention / access.

What can the Evaluation Working Group provide that would assist you in your testing and evaluation (check as many as apply):
* Access to end users for design, testing or discussion
* Scenarios or scripts to exercise collaborative systems

Where do you see relationships between your system or research product and others in the IC&V program?
Too many to list here. Examples include: Notification, object/type access, web/email tools, multicast tools, etc.
