and Engineering of the University of Canberra in Australia.
I am researching for my master thesis the relation between tasks to be pe=
rformed in collaborative work environments and the social-cultural aspect=
s of IT tools adoption by human groups. =20

ge in collaborative group activities performed in aboriginal, peasant and=
information age societies using a Non-Cartesian methodology.=20
