Abstract :
The Minnesota Imaging Project (MIP) is a joint academic-practitioner research program at the Carlson School of Management. The MIP research team consists of individuals with diverse and significant experience with imaging, supported by group decision support systems (GDSS) technology. The MIP team is implementing a research application as the means to investigate several research issues. The project is evaluating a new phased, joint development methodology designed for new technologies. The research application has several characteristics that will permit it to be developed and studied on a small scale, and yet generalized to a broad set of applications: groups of knowledge workers that work together, frequently dispersed in time and place, focusing on the paper-based information they use, with modest amounts of file folder and workflow, and with important indexing and retrieval requirements. The research subjects are: the GDSS and the Rhetoric faculty teams, and the MIP research team
