A NEW TASK DISTRIBUTION MODEL TO INCREASE USER PERFORMANCE IN COLLABORATIVE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Collaboration and teamwork is important in many areas of our lives. People come together to share and discuss ideas, split and distribute work or help and support each other. The sharing of information and artefacts is a central part of collaboration. In this paper, a new task distribution model is proposed to increase user performance in CVEs. The model defines the task distribution strategy among multiple users in CVEs which is based on task selection and distribution mechanism among users via awareness mechanism for increasing user performance in CVEs. The effect of tight and loose coupling is also discussed in the model for user performance. The main objective of proposed model is to manage and control the concurrent user actions for better user’s performance.
