“…Although the concept is vaguely defined and has been used in many different ways, a definition that was coined in the early 1990s is still referred to by many contemporary writers (e.g. Bossen 2002;Fields 2005;Munkvold and Ellingsen 2007;Rolland et al 2006). A CIS comprises ''the artifacts that are accessible to a cooperative ensemble as well as the meaning attributed to these artifacts by the actors'' (Schmidt and Bannon 1992:21).…”

“…The cooperation between different disciplines and expertises within organisations, and the coordination of the contributions of the different actors into collective achievements to ensure safe and efficient operations in risk-exposed industries is thus an important field for research. The topic has been treated in a range of work place studies within many different domains such as aviation (Endsley 1999;Hutchins 1995a, b;Suchman 1996;Weick and Roberts 1993), health care (Munkvold and Ellingsen 2007;Tjora 2000), underground control centres (Heath and Luff 1992), the petroleum industry (Almklov 2006;Hepsø 2006;Rolland et al 2006), and in more general workplace studies (Engeström and Middleton 1996;Heath et al 2000).…”

Chasing shared understanding in drilling operations

Lack of shared understanding is frequently found to be the main cause when accidents are investigated. Still, few studies explicitly explore and document the causal effects of shared understanding in successful work. Thus, the attribution of insufficient shared understanding as an accident cause lacks the substantiation of shared understanding as a contributor to successful work. In this article a case of measurement discrepancies in an offshore drilling operation is studied, and in the elaboration of the case shared understanding is found not to qualify as a condition with significant impact on the collaborative work. One important reason for this is the epistemological inadequacy of the different concepts of shared understanding. Although more critical research on shared understanding is needed before one can conclude more generic on this topic, the findings are important to the current development of Integrated Operations where shared understanding is pointed out as an important target area. Keywords Shared understanding Á Coordination Á Cooperative work Á Distributed cognition Á Integrated operationsA scene from an offshore drilling operation: at two different stages of the operation, the measurements of the same depth show different results. Due to different types of risks and success criteria, the significance of the depth measurement reliability is different in the short and the long time perspective. The relevant time perspective also differs for the actors involved; while the drilling engineers have a short time perspective and are willing to accept an accuracy in the range of decimetres, the reservoir engineers have a longer time perspective and require less uncertainty of measurements. What role does shared understanding between the actors play in such a situation?

“…Studies undertaken for developing the notion of CIS have focused on specialised cooperative work settings such as; air traffic control tower and software company [7], bank, football competition, and museum [6], hospital ward [8][9][10], airport [11], and oil and gas company [12]. While reviewing these studies two fundamental questions were addressed: What are the pertinent questions being addressed in the research, and How are the findings conceptualized?…”

Abstract. The notion of Common Information Space (CIS) has been proposed in the field of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) as a conceptual framework for analyzing cooperative work processes. The area is still in its formative years and requires more research to contribute to its development. This paper presents findings from an investigation undertaken for such an endeavor. Three perceptions of CIS are presented, which are, CIS as a sociotechnical arrangement, dynamic arrangement, and dependency management arrangement. These have been derived from review of existing research contributing to CIS notion development and Grounded Theory analysis of collaborative work process in air traffic control setting. The findings presented in this paper provide a comprehensive and consolidated view of the notion development. The paper contributes to the ongoing discussion of CIS notion development by making theoretical as well as methodological contribution.
