| Abstract: |
Being
able to routinely participate in virtual teams performing SE-related
activities is a part of our collective destiny. We should aspire
to an electronic-systems engineering (e-SE) environment that provides
appropriate support for the types of virtual team collaboration
that will occur on a project or within an enterprise. In recognition
that not all collaboration occurs in the same way, this paper delineates
and characterizes several models of collaboration and virtual collaboration
- some of them based on sport team metaphors. We identify and describe
different kinds of web-based support that may be advantageous to
variations on the collaboration theme. In the process, we identify
a variety of opportunities for innovation and integration - all
with the aspiration of helping to invigorate virtual team processes
and activities.
