EWG/ICV Questionnaire

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

Which of the following IC&V program objectives will your research results support:
* Enable access via diverse portals, from hand-held through room-sized
* Enable interoperability across diverse encoding formats, co-ordination and consistency protocols, and real-time services
* Scale collaborations to 10 active collaborators, 100 questioners, and 1000 observers
* Reduce by an order of magnitude the time needed to generate collaborative applications
* Reduce by an order of magnitude the time to establish collaborative sessions across heterogeneous environments

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 the next year
* 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?
scenarios desired tools feedback from use of early systems

When evaluating the utility of your product, what will be your measures of success?
users are happy interesting research done (peers are happy)

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
* HCI and usability experts
* 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?
any where interoperability is needed integration
