Abstract. Existing systems supporting collaboration processes typically implement a single, fixed collaboration protocol, and collaboration process takes place inside a single group. In this paper, we present the DynG prototype which provides support for multiple collaboration protocols for non-monolithic collaboration processes, i.e. collaboration processes in which collaboration is spread among many groups, having different protocols depending on what the group is aimed at. Collaboration protocols used by the DynG prototype integrate communicative, "acting", and social aspects of collaboration processes and must be semantically and structurally valid.

AbstractExisting systems supporting collaboration processes typically implement a single, fixed collaboration protocol, and collaboration process takes place inside a single group. In this paper, we present in details the DynG prototype which provides support for multiple collaboration protocols for non-monolithic collaboration processes, i.e. collaboration processes in which collaboration is spread among many groups. Collaboration protocols used by the DynG prototype includes communicative, "acting", and social aspects of collaboration processes, and the introduction of group actions provides support for group dynamics and helps to structure collaboration processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
