Business Collaboration Volume 45, Number 4, 2006 Click to enlarge
SJ 45-4
The focus on innovation in the business world today has increased awareness of the crucial role of collaboration in the workplace. Nine papers of this issue deal with business collaboration, and they cover activity-centered collaboration with customers, the use of patterns for capturing best practices, tools for supporting activity-based collaboration, user studies, and collaboration-related analytics and visualization. A tenth, non-topical paper deals with the use of ontology in the development of software architectures.
