CHRONO CURRENT SYSTEM USAGE<br />

The CHRONO system has been runn<strong>in</strong>g at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Calgary s<strong>in</strong>ce<br />

March, 1995. It currently services seven web locations: two research units and five <strong>in</strong>dividuals. People associated with<br />

the two research units: Knowledge Science Institute and GroupLab periodically have utilized the system to check on<br />

new developments of each other (both with<strong>in</strong> group and between groups).<br />

From a prelim<strong>in</strong>ary exam<strong>in</strong>ation of the HTTPD access_log of the CHRONO system site and from talk<strong>in</strong>g with<br />

<strong>in</strong>dividual group members, we have found that the chronological list<strong>in</strong>gs of the five personal sites have offered other<br />

group members more focused chronological awareness about these five <strong>in</strong>dividuals' work<strong>in</strong>g patterns. Occasionally,<br />

some people had discovered new projects the targeted <strong>in</strong>dividuals were work<strong>in</strong>g on that they were not previously aware.<br />

This positive usage experience of personal chronological list<strong>in</strong>gs suggests to us that there is a need to further exam<strong>in</strong>e<br />

the effectiveness of provid<strong>in</strong>g different sub-group<strong>in</strong>gs of chronological list<strong>in</strong>gs to group members.<br />
