Abstract :
In this paper we propose an analytical approach based on models of human performance to evaluate workspace collaboration. Our results indicate that the approach: 1) facilitates the fine-grained analysis of workspace collaboration; 2) provides quantitative estimates of collaborative actions executed in shared workspaces; and 3) affords comparing alternative designs using dimensions of team performance derived from the quantitative estimates
