The nature of distributed work is changing as mobile and ubiquitous technologies are being used increasingly to enable collaboration anywhere, anytime. The success of distributed teamwork depends on the ability of collaborating partners to communicate essential social and task information, referred to as awareness information. Thus, the design of next generation mobile and ubiquitous technologies need to be based on a deep understanding of social and task requirements. The purpose of this project is to investigate how technology can support awareness requirements as people's environments change during distributed work. Empirical studies of physically collocated and distributed collaboration will be done to develop a theoretical framework for how awareness information is conveyed and utilized in these different settings. Five field sites have been selected in domains where distributed work is commonplace: space mission design, aerospace, software development, microprocessor development, and disk storage technologies. Prototype awareness mechanisms will be developed based on the requirements obtained in the field studies. These technologies will be evaluated both in the field and the laboratory to test the theoretical framework of how awareness information is utilized in distributed work. This research will be integrated into a graduate study program focused on computer-supported collaborative work and human-computer interaction.

随着移动和无处不在的技术的使用，分布式工作的性质正在发生变化。分布式团队合作的成功取决于合作伙伴传达基本社会和任务信息的能力，称为意识信息。因此，下一代移动和无处不在的技术的设计必须基于对社会和任务要求的深刻理解。该项目的目的是调查技术如何在分布式工作期间人们的环境发生变化时如何支持意识要求。将进行对物理共处和分布式协作的经验研究，以开发一个理论框架，以在这些不同的环境中如何传达和利用意识信息。在分布式工作很常见的域中选择了五个现场站点：太空任务设计，航空航天，软件开发，微处理器开发和磁盘存储技术。原型意识机制将根据现场研究中获得的要求制定。这些技术将在现场和实验室中进行评估，以测试如何在分布式工作中使用意识信息的理论框架。这项研究将集成到一项研究生研究计划中，该计划的重点是计算机支持的协作工作和人力计算机的互动。
