Abstract
The need to model users' dynamic behaviour in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) systems arises in many contexts. This study developed a probabilistic model of the usage of an awareness‐maintaining mechanism in a collaborative hypertext database system. Longitudinal time series data of user‐database interaction were studied. The study found that the recurring patterns in the occurrences of the awareness‐seeking event were related to several contextual aspects of the CSCW system studied. The context‐behaviour relationship is captured by a Poisson regression model. The analytical method can be applied to the study of situated actions in other CSCW systems.
