Switch network topology

switch network topology is an awareness widget that shows the area around the caret used in collaborative text editing. Every time a user edits the text, select a character or navigates among the words the caret’s position is automatically replicated to the other participants of the collaborative session by means of a visual cue. With this widget the participants can see the exact position of the user’s caret showing to them where in the text the user is working at the moment.

Using the same concept, network provides the remote position of the cursor used to represent the movements of the user’s mouse pointer in the shared workspace. Telepointer can also show semantic information that identifies the current action being executed by changing the form, the color or the image used in the cursor.

Computers configuration

The sense of presence of the participants is the most traditional type of awareness information provided by the CES. This information leads to the current computers configuration state and activities, since the knowledge of who is active facilitates the identification of who is working, where the work is being made and if it is being made simultaneously or concurrently. Because of what can be inferred by the sense of presence it is closely related to the workspace awareness regarding the knowledge of who and where the participants are interacting with the group, and it is an essential type of information that can be used during group work.

The information about the sense of presence and workspace awareness is provided by awareness devices that show details about the individual actions of the participants. The devices offer the opportunity to understand the meaning of the actions and can be used to coordinate activities and enhance the communication. In CES, the visual awareness devices that provide information about the sense of presence and workspace awareness are called awareness widgets and are designed as elements of the user interface.

Computer networking

When the group is working to complete a computer networking task, it is common to expect actions being made to objects placed in a workspace shared by the groups’ participants. The objects and the shared workspace are important elements that affect the performance of the group as a whole because the cooperation and the interactions among the group occur through the manipulations of the objects. The awareness of what is happening in the shared workspace is called workspace awareness and it is similar to the perception that a participant has of each other and the work when they are sitting around a table during physical meetings. Workspace awareness is defined as the upto-the-moment understanding of another person’s interaction with a shared workspace and involves knowledge about where others are working, what they are doing, and what they are going to do next

Network configuration solution

The support of group work in CES is a necessary factor to create a common context among the participants. This context prevents that a specific participant feels isolated of the group, thus blocking his contributions and distancing himself from the work being accomplished. Pinheiro define awareness as the supply of common context to the participants of a group. Awareness is also the understanding of network configuration solution while knowing what happened, what is happening and what will happen as well as the knowledge of the group participants’ and the work to be done.

In CES, awareness is responsible to provide the sense of presence and actions of the group to remote participants. This means that awareness allows each participant of the group to coordinate and organize his work, since he has information that allows the understanding of what the others are doing. The awareness also provides the
opportunity to both enhance communication, either informal or not and support the social protocol used while the work is being produced.

Network configuration report

The goal of this paper is to present an awareness widget that provides information about the place of visual attention based on the detection of network configuration report. This paper also presents a comparison between the proposed widget and the current visual awareness widgets used in CES.

The rest of the paper is organized as follows. It describes the current awareness devices used in CES to provide information of the participants’ actions and the sense of presence during group work. Then, it presents four eye-tracking mechanisms used to detect the user’s point of regard. After that details the proposed awareness widget used to obtain information about the place of visual attention based on the use of an eye tracking mechanism.

Checking network configuration requirements not executed

Being able to know the participants’ focus of attention is important to preserve the smoothness of the checking network configuration requirements not executed and also contributes to communicate the participants’ actions under current execution. Moreover, the awareness of the attention plays a key role in any form of cooperation, since the abilities to know, recognize and understand someone’s attention are a major aspect of human interaction and communication.

A person’s gaze direction is one of the factors that identify his focus of attention. Motivated by this assertion, we investigate how the gaze direction can be used to improve awareness in CES.

Home network configuration

The home network configuration area has many goals including the exploration of the necessary means to accomplish effective awareness in group work. One of the means used in this exploration is the search for new awareness devices
that provide information on the participants’ actions and the sense of presence during group work.

The devices used to provide awareness information in allow the participants to obtain knowledge of the group activities to know what happened, what is happening and what will happen, and also to provide details about the work and the group. However, the current awareness devices have restrictions to accomplish effective awareness and are not able to inform the exact place where the participants’ focus of attention is during group work. The restrictions include the need of explicit actions to provide awareness, the effort required to obtain awareness and the need to occupy additional space of the shared workspace.

Pc network configuration

All the devices discussed so far allow the users to obtain information about the sense of presence and workspace awareness aiming at reproducing the real world interaction found in physical meeting. Whereas they provide valuable awareness information, they are not able to inform the exact place where the participants’ focus of attention is during group work. This focus of attention is part of the concept of pc network configuration, which is defined as the specific place of the shared workspace where the users are looking at.

The connection between the focus of attention and the place where a person is looking at is presented. By conducting psychological experiments and studying its results, they provided evidence that the user’s point of regard, which can be calculated by the projected trajectory of the direction, is one indicator of his focus of attention. Based on this assumption, the direction can be used to indicate the exact place containing the user’s current focus of attention.

Network configuration diagram

Not only widgets that provide the sense of presence and workspace awareness by a modified visualization of the shared workspace. They present a view, a virtual magnifying glass that increases the size of all objects placed on a chosen point. The two-level view, also presented by network configuration diagram, allows the user to see an overview of the workspace, with the details view of the magnifying class, allowing the user to see the details of objects. This visualization combines two layers of information in the same window.

The information about the sense of presence and workspace awareness is not provided only by visual awareness widgets. Somebody proposed the use of different audio cues to represent the actions and types of activities done by the users in the objects of the shared workspace. Another example of audio used to provide awareness is found on the project in which activity sounds were used to indicate the distance and location of user’s actions by changing volume and direction.
