Abstract

Awareness is now acknowledged in the CSCW domain as an important element to take into account. This paper explores and refines the concept of workspace awareness. A categorization is proposed based on two criteria: the granularity and the ability to identify the cooperating entities. Two concepts are defined on this basis: Workspace Individual Awareness (WIA) and Workspace Global Awareness (WGA). New kinds of metrics are then described to support WGA and a prototype implementing WGA is shortly discussed.
