Response Quality in Human-chatbot Collaborative Systems
We study human-chatbot collaborative conversation systems that enable humans to leverage AI chatbot outputs during an online conversation with others. We evaluate response quality in two collaborative systems and compare them with human-only and chatbot-only settings. Both collaborative systems …

Leveraging System Context to Understand Collaborative Systems in Modern Public Management
… et al., 2011). Countries worldwide now use collaborative governance to respond to such wicked problems (Jayasinghe et al., 2022; Huang, 2020; Megawati et al., 2020). Despite growing in popularity, gaps remain in understanding collaborative governance at scale. In this dissertation, I present …

Collaborative systems thinking : an exploration of the mechanisms enabling team systems thinking
Aerospace systems are among the most complex anthropogenic systems and require large quantities of systems knowledge to design successfully. Within the aerospace industry, an aging workforce places those with the most systems experience near retirement at a time when fewer new programs exist to …

An Architecture for Collaborative Problem-Solving Control in Associate Systems
In the past, AI systems have strived to automate problem-solving processes completely. However, in recent years researchers have come to realize that it is not always possible or desirable to aim for total automation. Researchers are realizing the importance of human-computer collaborative systems …

REACH : the local social favor exchange : a proximal messaging system
… the widespread adoption of social, locative and collaborative systems and assert that their evolution is driven by natural human communication instincts that tend towards increasingly personal and real world interactions. We go on to present Reach, a proximal messaging system realized as a local …

An Activity Theory Evaluation of a User Interface for a Web-based Virtual Research Environment (VRE)
… and more in the design and evaluation of some collaborative systems such as a modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment. Activity Theory offers many advantages to interface design for interactive systems when compared with the traditional cognitive psychology approach. This is …

Evaluation of the influence of personality types on performance of shared tasks in a collaborative environment
… interface variants to both competitive and collaborative systems in an attempt to identify what aspects of an interface or task best suit the needs of the different dyads, maximising their performance and producing high levels of user satisfaction. In order to determine this, we introduce a …

Investigating Awareness-Supporting Techniques in Co-located Sensemaking
… communicate with partners face-to-face. However, collaborative systems must balance the tradeoff between working separately to complete individual work, and the need to communicate and maintain collaborative awareness. Dividing the tasks and working at the same time might encourage more …

Domain-Independent Mode Estimation for Human-Robot Collaboration
… human activity recognition is essential for collaborative and assistive robotics, particularly in dynamic or safety-critical environments. The core solution presented in this thesis is a mode-estimator and its efficient implementation using the A* with bounding conflicts (A*BC) algorithm. …

Knowledge driven system architecture to support collaborative product development in the extended enterprise
… knowledge driven system architecture to support collaborative product development (KdCPD). Furthermore, a novel approach for identifying, capturing and representing knowledge of a geographically distributed extended enterprise was developed as part of the research. This knowledge representation, …

Frameworks for enhancing temporal interface behaviour through software architectural design
… The work is motivated by the failure of many collaborative systems to effectively manage the temporal behaviour at the interface level, as they often assume that the interaction is taking place over fast, reliable local area networks. However, the Web has challenged this assumption and users …

Tabletop Tangible Interfaces for Music Performance: Design and Evaluation
This thesis investigates a new generation of collaborative systems: tabletop tangible interfaces (TTIs) for music performance or musical tabletops. Musical tabletops are designed for professional musical performance, as well as for casual interaction in public settings. These systems support …
