“…On the other hand, there are collaborative solutions proposed to support mobile workers in specific settings (André and Antunes 2004;Guerrero et al 2006;MenchacaMendez et al 2004;Muñoz et al 2003;Zurita et al 2005), different to construction management. These proposals have shown to be useful to support particular collaborative processes; however, they were not designed as general solutions, therefore it is not easy to reuse or adapt them.…”

Coordinating Loosely-Coupled Work in Construction Inspection Activities

Artículo de publicación ISIInspections represent key activities in construction projects. They allow coordinating the work of the main contractor and the subcontracted companies participating in the project. Today the inspection activities and the coordination process are done using information recorded into paper-based blueprints. As a consequence of it, coordinating the activities derived from inspection processes become expensive, slow and error-prone. This paper presents a mobile shared workspace, named COIN (Construction Inspector), which helps the participants in a construction project to overcome these limitations. COIN was particularly designed to be used on tablet PCs, but it is able to run on several computing devices. This workspace has been tested in a controlled work scenario. The preliminary results are highly positive, indicating this proposal could have an important impact on the construction management process.This work was partially supported by Fondecyt (Chile), grants No: 11060467 and 1080352

“…From an organizational perspective, this means that situated decision making models such as the garbage can [23] are more applicable to our context than traditional rational choice models [24]. Regarding the support to mobility, several collaborative solutions have already been proposed [25][26][27][28][29]. Although these proposals have shown useful to support specific collaborative activities, they were not designed to address emergency management.…”

Abstract. Existing information systems often lack support to crisis and emergency situations. In such scenarios, the involved actors often engage in ad hoc collaborations necessary to understand and respond to the emerging events. We propose a collaboration model and a prototype aiming to improve the consistency and effectiveness of emergent work activities. Our approach defends the requirement to construct shared situation awareness (SA). To support SA, we developed a collaborative artifact named situation matrixes (SM), which relates different situation dimensions (SD) of the crisis/emergency scenario. A method was also developed to construct and evaluate concrete SM and SD. This method was applied in two organizations' IT service desk teams, which often have to deal with emergency situations. The target organizations found our approach very relevant in organizing their response to emergencies.
