Which of the following best describes what you
are building for this program (please feel free to
elaborate):
* infrastructure for collaborative environments
* Other: design, building and evaluating tools for indirect collaboration (i.e. finding potential collaborators automatically)
Which of the following IC&V program objectives
will your research results support:
* Enable real-time discovery of relevant collaborators and information within a task
Who do you see as the users of your products--please give more specifics, if possible:
* DOD: intelligence analysts, JTF planners
* Scientific Researchers: find potential collaborators
* Software Engineers: reduction of code redevelopment /increased reuse by identifying overlapping development
When will your research "product" be ready to share with potential end users (in the lab, in the field:)
* Within the next year
* Within 1-2 years
What information from potential end users would assist you in developing and refining your system?
information about how collaboration occurs spontaneously would be useful
When evaluating the utility of your product, what will be your measures of success?
1. how much effort is required by users to gain the indirect collaboration value.
2. user satisfaction
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
* Logging capabilities to capture data on usage
Where do you see relationships between your system or research product and others in the IC&V program?
Any other comments:
To the extent that the EWG can keep each researcher from talking to the same users and from having to generate their own testing data, the EWG will have an important impact.
