Abstract

This paper investigates and evaluates some of the procedural aspects of intense collaborative activities. It reports on a study where orchestrated procedural support and guidance assisted presenters in a series of research review sessions. Applications were invoked automatically on behalf of the presenters and an awareness mechanism steered each session and helped speakers stay within their time frames. These orchestration activities were initially undertaken by an observer, but over a series of eight sessions, a software apparatus was built and took responsibility for carrying out the tasks.
