ABSTRACT
This paper proposes that social navigation can solve many of the challenges facing user experience in collaborative systems. Three key values and three phases of design for social navigation support are identified. The values of social navigation support in collaboration are: discovery of new features; predicting the consequence of certain actions and decisions based on what other people have done previously; and conveying cultural context to meet the expectations of other members of the collaborative space. The phases are: collection of what other people have done; evaluation of consequences about the actions and decisions users can make; and presentation of the appropriate information to help the user with the best decision. The paper outlines how each value can be maximized through design at each phase. Examples are provided to illustrate that social navigation is ready to be integrated into collaboration tools to improve overall usability.

Transparent collaboration: letting users simulate another user's world
CHiMiT '10: Proceedings of the 4th Symposium on Computer Human Interaction for the Management of Information TechnologyWhile trying to learn how to use current collaboration systems, users face many challenges, including difficulty trying out new features and experimenting without their actions affecting other users. This paper proposes an innovative approach to solve ...
Social translucence: an approach to designing systems that support social processes
Special issue on human-computer interaction in the new millennium, Part 1We are interested in desiging systems that support communication and collaboration among large groups of people over computing networks. We begin by asking what properties of the physical world support graceful human-human communication in face-to-face ...
Social navigation: modeling, simulation, and experimentation
AAMAS '03: Proceedings of the second international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systemsThe term social navigation refers to the process of seeking social interaction as a source of navigational support. In this paper we present a computational model of social navigation as an extension to an existing conceptual, non-computational model of ...
