Introduction to the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track

The focus of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track is information systems and technology support for interaction among groups of people in organizations. While this track examines one research area, there is a broad range of papers that consider design development, implementation and use, as well as the application of commercially available technology in organizations. This track began a number of years ago with the increased interest in both Group Support Systems and Negotiation Support Systems minitracks. Out of this interest, the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track was created. It consists of minitracks in twelve areas.
