Abstract

Human cognition and work processes are two inseparable parts of human problem solving, however, the cognitive process is neglected in most research on knowledge-intensive team Cooperation. This paper presents an approach for modelling these two parts of the process for use by a distributed co-operative team. We define a new notion of cognitive flow to reflect the dynamic cognition processes of a team. The mechanism is built to model, control and manage the cognitive flow process. A solution for applying this approach to a distributed team during software development is presented. The experiment showed that the approach can improve the problem solving ability of a team.
