LanguageA simplest systematics for the organization of turn-taking for conversation

On the basis of research using audio recordings of naturally occurring conversations, the chapter highlights the organization of turn taking for conversation and extracts some of the interest that organization has.

Why CSCW applications fail: problems in the design and evaluationof organizational interfaces
958 Citations1988Jonathan Grudin
Examination of several application areas reveals a common dynamic: a factor contributing to the application’s failure is the disparity between those who will benefit from an application and those who must do additional work to support it.

International Journal of Man-Machine StudiesFindings from observational studies of collaborative work
580 Citations1991John Tang
Specific features of collaborative work activity that raise design implications for collaborative technology are identified: collaborators use hand gestures to uniquely communicate significant information; the process of creating and using drawings conveys much information not contained in the resulting drawings.
Informal workplace communication
408 Citations1994Steve Whittaker, Dávid Fröhlich +1 more
New findings about the nature of informat communications are presented, derived from a naturalistic study of people’s everyday working activities, that address weaknesses in current systems that support such interactions remotely and identify further requirements for better support.

The goal of the VideoWindow system project is to extend a shared space over considerable distance without impairing the quality of the interactions among users or requiring any special actions to establish a conversation.
Experiences in the use of a media space

Disembodied Conduct
303 Citations1991Christian Heath, Paul Luff
The detailed, naturalistic analysis of video-recordings of individuals collaborating on various tasks through audio-visual links describes the ways in which the technology transforms nonverbal and verbal conduct, introducing certain asymmetries into the social interaction between users.
Evaluating video as a technology for informal communication
266 Citations1992Robert Fish, Robert E. Kraut +2 more
The research described here evaluates the adequacy of a version of a desktop video/audio conferencing system for supporting informal communication in a research and development laboratory and discusses of requirements for successful technology to support informal communication.
Speech patterns in video-mediated conversations

This study compared patterns of spontaneous speech for same room versus two video-mediated conversations that used a single camera, monitor and speaker, and a picture-in-a-picture device to display multiple people on one screen.
Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)Why do users like video?
233 Citations1992John Tang, Ellen Isaacs
Three studies of collaborative activity were conducted as part of research in developing multimedia technology to support collaboration, and desktop conferencing apparently reduced e-mail usage and was perceived to reduce the number of shorter, two- person, face-to-face meetings.

195 Citations1990John Tang, Scott Minneman
VideoDraw is a prototype, videobased, tool that provides a shared “virtual sketchbook” among two or more collaborators that not only allows the collaborators to see each others' drawings, but also conveys the accompanying hand gestures and the process of creating and using those drawings.

123 Citations1967Robert M. Krauss, Peter D. Bricker
Two experiments were performed to investigate the effects of transmission delay and access delay on the efficiency with which speakers verbally encoded information for transmission in a two‐person communication task and their relevance to problems encountered in two‐way voice communication over long transmission paths.
