ABSTRACT: The possibility of integrating group support systems (GSSs), joint
application development (JAD), and computer-aided software engineering
(CASE) tools to support the requirements specification processes is
examined. The relevance of GSSs, JAD, and CASE to requirements
specification is discussed. An integration framework is proposed and is
augmented by a domain-analysis methodology. A pilot study conducted to
assess the effectiveness of applying the domain-analysis methodology in
using GSSs for requirements specification is reported

ABSTRACT: The proliferation of personal computers and communication
networks, as well as the movement toward team-based organizations in the
business world have generated tremendous interests in the development of
group support systems (GSS). The authors present a research project to
design and develop an integrated group support environment (IGSE) which
provides a wide range of support for group works. IGSE is based on a
conceptual framework of GSS and incorporates a set of unique features of
several existing GSS. The primary goal of the IGSE is to provide an
integrated, flexible, and cost-effective support for group
communication, coordination, and decision making at any time and place
in a multimedia environment. The kernel of IGSE is a groupware generator
which is used to define the structure of a group repository, to generate
a set of groupware tools for specific domains, and to specify group
processes in managing coordination among team members. The architecture
of the IGSE and the design of the groupware generator are
presented

ABSTRACT: To explicate the belief that learning is key to the development of
human intelligence, a triarchic theory of human intelligence is
presented and its implications are explored. Specifically, group
knowledge-acquisition techniques for capturing and using human expertise
are explored. To illustrate the ideas that a synthesis of human
expertise and information technology is key to the creation of more
intelligent organizations, a collaborative metasystem is proposed as a
mechanism to help individuals and organizations manage personal and
corporate knowledge systems and thereby deal intelligently with
environmental uncertainty and equivocality

ABSTRACT: A field study using a GDSS (group decision support systems)
environment to acquire knowledge from multiple experts to build an
expert system for an information center was conducted. This field study
indicated that a GDSS environment facilitates the acquisition of
knowledge from a group of experts by documenting knowledge
electronically, by supporting knowledge extraction from individual
experts in a parallel fashion, by offering possibilities to resolve
conflicts during the knowledge extraction phase, and by providing a
group interaction atmosphere to enrich the domain of expertise. In
addition, it was found that structured analysis techniques were useful
in planning for knowledge acquisition and that a designated primary
expert was of great help when dealing with multiple experts
