The aim of the current paper was to introduce smartphone based behavior sensing and data processing as a means to automatically observe team coordination processes in realistic environments.
Integrated video recordings by five synchronized cameras captured the coordination processes during the virtual exercises.
In our system, all coordination processes are fully distributed, based only on local-interactions, and self-organization.
As shown for single hand interactions, understanding of the neuromotor coordination processes using both hands could improve interface design.
Three aspects of the program were evaluated: team implementation (objective 1), team outcomes (objective 2) and coordination processes (objective 3).
Our proposal integrates aspects of functional process interdependence and different integration mechanisms used within MTSs to better elucidate how different coordination processes emerge.
"The responsible department of the joint venture has arranged a thorough investigation of the internal control and coordination processes so that an incident like this can be excluded in the future". "The annoying thing about Audi's used-car ad, besides its objectification of women, is that it thinks Chinese customers deserve only commercials like this," the user wrote.
The framework exposes potential countervailing or confluent effects of coordination processes on performance and, thereby, reconciles seemingly incongruent findings regarding the effect of different approaches to coordination on MTSs performance.
The mechanism has been designed by combining a top-down design approach for self-organizing resource-flow system and a systemic development framework for the development of decentralized, distributed coordination processes.
In addition, our framework helps managers consider the multilevel nature of MTS coordination processes in ways that assist them in selecting an approach to effectively address the coordination challenges inherent in these complex systems.
These two intrinsic characteristics of the design work stress specific cooperative processes: coordination processes in order to manage task interdependencies, establishment of common ground and negotiation mechanisms in order to manage the integration of multiple perspectives in design.
