“…Other research on situation awareness focuses on how the arrangement of equipment and physical layout of the task environment influence access to information and coordination of activities among group members (Artman, 2000). Displays and artefacts that can be readily seen and evaluated by group members create a greater degree of shared awareness.…”

How can the physical design of the workplace enhance collaborations without compromising an individual's productivity? The body of research on the links between physical space and collaboration in knowledge work settings is reviewed. Collaboration is viewed as a system of behaviours that includes both social and solitary work. The social aspects of collaboration are discussed in terms of three dimensions: awareness, brief interaction and collaboration (working together). Current knowledge on the links between space and the social as well as individual aspects of collaborative work is reviewed. The central conflict of collaboration is considered: how to design effectively to provide a balance between the need to interact and the need to work effectively by oneself. The body of literature shows that features and attributes of space can be manipulated to increase awareness, interaction and collaboration. However, doing so frequently has negative impacts on individual work as a result of increases in noise distractions and interruptions to on-going work. The effects are most harmful for individual tasks requiring complex and focused mental work. The negative effects are compounded by a workplace that increasingly suffers from cognitive overload brought on by time stress, increased workload and multitasking. Keywords: cognitive overload, collaboration, evidence-based design, individual effectiveness, interaction, knowledge work, office awareness, workplace awareness, workplace design Comment la conception physique du lieu de travail peut-elle améliorer les collaborations sans compromettre la productivité individuelle ? L'auteur passe en revue l'ensemble des recherches conduites sur les liens qui existent entre l'espace physique et la collaboration au niveau de la connaissance du cadre de travail. La collaboration est définie comme un système de comportements qui recouvre le travail en groupe et le travail solitaire. Les aspects sociaux de la collaboration sont examinés sous trois angles différents: prise de conscience, brèves interactions et collaboration (travailler ensemble). L'auteur examine les connaissances actuelles en matière de liens entre l'espace et la dimension sociale et aussi en termes d'aspects individuels du travail en collaboration. L'auteur étudie ensuite le conflit qui est au coeur du travail en collaboration: comment concevoir avec efficacité pour arriver à un équilibre entre le besoin d'interagir et celui de travailler seul efficacement ? La littérature consacrée à ce sujet montre que les caractéristiques et les attributs de l'espace peuvent être manipulés pour augmenter la prise de conscience, l'interaction et la collaboration. Mais des manipulations trop fréquentes ont des incidences négatives sur le travail individuel du fait de l'augmentation du bruit, des distractions et des interruptions du travail en cours. Elles sont surtout préjudiciables aux tâches individuelles complexes qui nécessitent

“…Artman (2000) showed that for the development of SA in a team, it is preferable that information is provided sequentially in order to allow time for every team member to develop their own SA.

Abstract. For operational units in the security domain that work together in teams, it is important to quickly and adequately exchange context-related information to ensure well-working collaboration. Currently, most information exchange is based on oral communication. This paper reports on different scenarios from the security domain in which augmented reality (AR) techniques are used to support such information exchange. The scenarios have been designed with a User Centred Design approach, in order to make the scenarios as realistic as possible. To support these scenarios, an AR system has been developed and evaluated in two rounds. In the first round, the usability and feasibility of the AR support has been evaluated with experts from different operational units in the security domain. The second evaluation round then focussed on the effect of AR on collaboration and situational awareness within the expert teams. With regard to the usability and feasibility of AR, the evaluation shows that the scenarios are well defined and the AR system can successfully support information exchange in teams operating in the security domain. The second evaluation round showed that AR can especially improve the situational awareness of remote colleagues not physically present at a scene.

“…This process of adaptation is also consistent with activity theory (Leontev, 1990) or how a team internalizes new information in terms of information distribution across team members (cf. Artman, 2000).…”

Command and control, particularly on the network-centric battle space, requires extensive coordination among a group of cognitive entities. Our goal was to better understand cognitive coordination and the impact of communication mode on team performance and coordination, and to develop a synthetic teammate. We conducted team experiments, and developed and tested a synthetic agent in the context of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) ground control. An important objective of this was to closely match human behavior across several cognitive capacities, such as situation assessment, task behavior, and language comprehension and generation. We also conducted an experiment in the UAV synthetic task environment to examine the coordination of a three-person team that interacted via voice-or text-based communications. Results demonstrated how text communications affect coordination relative to the voice communications. We plan to incorporate the synthetic teammate into human teams for validation, beginning summer 2009. SUBJECT TERMS COGNITIVE COORDINATION ON THE NETWORK CENTRIC BATTLEFIELD AbstractCognitive coordination is the timely and adaptive sharing of information. Command and control, particularly on the network-centric battle space, requires extensive coordination among a group of cognitive entities (humans and agents). The goal of the proposed research was to better understand cognitive coordination and the impact of mode of communication, presence of synthetic teammates, and training regime on team performance and coordination.We proposed a three-year effort to conduct two team experiments and to develop and test a synthetic agent in the context of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) ground control. This work was motivated by theory and empirical research in team cognition and cognitive modeling, much of it attri...
