Introduction
The general scope of this area can be defined as the industrial
engineering of distributed work systems/facilities, focusing on
the development of computer support tools for collaborative work
(CSCW). The nature of work systems is being transformed significantly
by a variety of factors and information technologies. Important
trends are telecommuting, telecomputing, telecommunication, and
the need to effectively coordinate the distributed workers, sites,
or companies for agile, responsive results. Projects address the
investigation of CSCW software tools, various specific information
and workflow models, and protocols for this emerging work environment.
