This is the first year funding of a two-year ontinuing award. `Distributed Group Support Systems` embed Group Decision Support System (GDSS)-type tools and procedures within a computer-mediated communication system, to support collaborative work among dispersed groups of people. `Distributed` has several meanings: temporal, spatial and technological. The group members use the system to work together to reach a decision or complete their cooperative work over a period of time, with each person working at whatever time and place is convenient. The theoretical focus of this phase of the research program will be to test propositions that will contribute to a general theory of coordination in distributed groups, by constructing a common database of the results of at least six experiments spanning four different types of tasks. The focus of empirical studies will be coordination mechanisms and processes to support creative and planning tasks, such as software design teams. The products of this program of research will help to provide the knowledge base for effective coordination of the work of collaborative groups using the `information superhighways` that are currently being constructed.

这是一个为期两年的持续奖的第一年资助。 “分布式群体支持系统”将群体决策支持系统（GDSS）类型的工具和程序嵌入以计算机为媒介的通信系统中，以支持分散的人群之间的协作工作。 “分布式”有几个含义：时间、空间和技术。 小组成员使用该系统一起工作，以达成一个决定或完成他们的合作工作在一段时间内，每个人的工作在任何时间和地点方便。 这一阶段的研究计划的理论重点将是测试命题，这将有助于在分布式群体协调的一般理论，通过构建一个共同的数据库，至少六个实验的结果跨越四种不同类型的任务。 实证研究的重点将是协调机制和过程，以支持创造性和规划任务，如软件设计团队。 这一研究方案的成果将有助于提供知识基础，以便利用目前正在建设的“信息高速公路”有效协调各协作小组的工作。
