Abstract

Several recent studies present complementary mathematical models of actor behavior in small, task-oriented, groups. This paper describes both models, which share the Markov property, discusses their strengths and limitations, and suggests that user modeling researchers and small group process researchers might benefit from collaboration. Several possibilities for model-based collaboration are suggested in connection with Computer Supported Collaborative Learning.
