Summary on Grant Application Form |

The project aims to test the hypothesis that appropriately tailored shared multimedia workspaces can improve users' ability to perform co-operative tasks hitherto carried out using separate databases and non-integrated means, while maintaining or improving the levels of security and data integrity. We shall further develop the security and data integrity provisions in our existing framework for computer-supported co-operative work (CSCW), and evaluate it in the management of diabetes, working with an identified group of clinicians engaged in shared patient care. Security issues arise in the confidentiality of patient data and the access control restrictions that apply for different users. Data integrity issues arise because users make concurrent updates, and standard formats and constraints apply to data values. We shall investigate how to present security and integrity features to users so that they can apply their policies correctly and with confidence, by pursuing our existing work on 'boundaries' around workspaces and on access control for group-working. For the evaluation framework, we shall investigate the usability factors associated with diabetes management as an application of our platform, so as to be able to draw conclusions about our workspace model, and not just this application of it.
