Abstract

The Australian HxI Initiative led by CSIRO, DSTO, and NICTA investigates how the application of information and communication technology can help geographically distributed teams collaborate more effectively. The HxI Initiative embraces not only the development of world-class scientific and industrial outcomes, but the development of human capital in this multi-disciplinary research field. In its first project, [braccetto], a team of engineers, computer scientists, and social scientists are collaborating on overarching research goals to explore the principles underlying distributed intense collaboration and to develop effective applications. We present our research challenges, the research platform, and a suite of experiments conducted during the first year of the [braccetto] project.
