Abstract

As part of the WETICE 2001 conference, the workshop on Evaluating Collaborative Enterprises continued from its debut last year exploring the issues surrounding the evaluation of collaborative enterprises. This exploration included methods and tools for evaluating collaborative software as well as application-specific evaluation xperiences. This paper describes the workshop's mission, summarizes the nine workshop presentations and one demonstration, and presents the main themes emanating from this workshop. These include the need for integrated theories, the need for advances in evaluation techniques and tools, and the need to confront non-controlled variables in case studies.
