Abstract

Over the past decade, a considerable amount of research, both in the laboratory and in the field, has been conducted into Group Support Systems (GSS). A significant proportion of the published research has been experimental, with a variety of subjects undertaking tasks assigned to them by the researchers, in conditions generated by the researchers. This has been true particularly in lab settings. While such work has been valuable, we believe that we should also examine how a group behaves before it has any notion of using GSS to support its meetings. Through such research, we believe that we can more precisely identify not only whether or not a meeting is likely to be suitable for GSS support, but also how well a GSS does support a meeting, post-implementation. This paper presents the design of an instrument that measures meetings in terms of a number of variables. Participant satisfaction is used as a surrogate measure of system success.
