FLOOR CONTROL IN COMPLEX SYNCHRONOUS CSCL ENVIRONMENTS

Jacques Lonchamp

2007

Abstract

Complex synchronous CSCL environments are dual space environments providing a task space where users “do things” through a set of collaborative tools and a communication space where users “talk of what they do”. The most recent systems provide several tools in each space. In such complex dual space environments, the definition and role of floor-control (FC) has to be clarified. FC can be associated to different granularity levels: environment, space, artefact, component or attribute. If FC is associated to the tool or space level, the coexistence of different FC policies has to be considered. This paper discusses FC in complex synchronous CSCL environments and describes the particular approach implemented in Omega+ generic framework.
