Finally, There is our newsgroup. It took some time for one of us, i.e. Alexander Verbraeck or myself, the initiators of this group, to post a message. This was due to the fact that we seemed to be the only ones who did not receive the group - until today. Here is my first contribution, consisting of a request for information. I am currently working on a piece of research on designing interorganizational information systems. My approach is to support the 'mental modelling' of the decisionmakers of the organizations involved, with the help of an interactive simulation model that is presented in the form of animation. In my research this tool was developed, and now I am testing the feasibility of the approach. I would like to hear from any researchers working on issues of how to design IIS, references, numbers, names, etc. Furthermore I would like to know of other research on supporting the creating and integration of mental models. Of course I'm willing to inform anyone interested in my research on my work thusfar. Thanks for any cooperation. __________________________________________________________________________ Folkert W.

Be sure to check out the work done by Terry Winograd at Stanford
University. Also see the related thinking that is the basis for
Action Technologies "groupware" product, The Coordinator.
