111003 - Gary's assignment on the ISS project has been completed.  He will be
111004 - getting a new assignment with Aerospace company in a week or so. ref SDS 0 IR6H
111005 - Gary says the typical day scenario of use cases for SDS is helpful in
111006 - preparing software requirements for SDS. ref SDS 0 5Y4L  He plans
111007 - further review of publications on Com Metrics.  Recommend focusing on
111008 - only two at this time. ref SDS 0 IW5O  Gary identifies collaboration
111009 - as a system requirement to build and maintain shared meaning, and asks
111010 - if SDS supports networking? ref SDS 0 IR4J  SDS is designed for
111011 - collaboration, ref SDS 0 SP3M, and has been configured on networks,
111012 - ref SDS 0 E66M; however, collaboration and shared meaning that saved
111013 - time and money are attributed to other features of SDS rather than to
111014 - using a LAN.  This needs to be identified in the SRS. ref SDS 0 AK5G
111015 - Gary correctly figured out a lot of the SDS directory structure, and
111016 - asks for assistance to complete the picture. ref SDS 0 IR4J  The
111017 - meeting with Morris on 970116 has this information. ref SDS 0 IQ6F

111403 -
111404 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary asking for information on SDS
111405 - directory structure to support work on the SRS he has started, per
111406 - planning on 020327, ref SDS 38 KI6I, and discussed recently by phone,
111407 - when Gary explained he has made progress developing a first order SRS
111408 - based on POIMS and NWO, noted in his letter on 020618. ref SDS 41 K93H
111410 -  ..
111411 - At that time, I suggested looking at the Typical Day Scenario,
111412 - ref OF 3 0001, which Morris found was helpful when he reported results
111413 - of a review on 010425, ref SDS 28 FG5O, and found that SDS use cases
111414 - are a utopia compared to other methods everybody uses, because with
111415 - SDS everything is in the right place at the right time. ref SDS 28
111416 - EP7F  Since Morris' report on 010425 aligns with Bill DeHart's earlier
111417 - comments on 000709 citing experience using SDS at PG&E, ref SDS 26
111418 - 1029, and since both Bill and Morris seem to have reached the same
111419 - conclusion Eric Armstrong made on 010916, that SDS has mechanisms that
111420 - obviously work for finding everything, ref SDS 32 PG6J, but he cannot
111421 - find anything using other methods that are popular, also, reported on
111422 - 010916, ref SDS 33 KA6H, and later emphasized this point on 011003,
111423 - ref SDS 34 EC5N, then it makes sense for the SRS to explain the design
111424 - that makes this advance possible.
111425 - ..
111426 - Gary says in his letter today....
111427 -
111428 -    1.  I went through the Typical Day Scenario, and it indeed implies
111429 -        many operational requirements that are not evident from the
111430 -        other documents. I will investigate the rest of the documents
111431 -        shown on the publications page to see what they might add.

111448 -                form a stronger partnership between leadership and

211208 -
211209 -    2.  I am looking at collaboration requirements for SDS and have
211210 -        some questions. The Scenario document makes several references
211211 -        to sharing SDS records. Since the records are files, I could
211212 -        see this being done on any LAN id the access permissions were
211213 -        set up correctly. Am I correct that this is not a feature of
211214 -        the current program? ref DRT 1 TX5N
211215 -           ..
211216 -           Collaboration and shared meaning are objectives of
211217 -           personal and organizational integrated management, as
211218 -           explained in POIMS.....

211229 -              To strengthen "listening," POIMS requires
211230 -              capturing daily experience that builds
211231 -              shared meaning through personal and

211238 -              Avoiding error and conflicts in human
211239 -              memory is the biggest factor for making
211240 -              communication effective so that people
211241 -              and organizations can take complementary
211242 -              action that makes collaboration

211263 -           Networking was installed at USACE. 960927, ref SDS 13 0001
211265 -            ..
211266 -           Both PG&E and USACE found that collaboration improved
211267 -           substantially using SDS, as seen for example by the record
211268 -           on 970107, ref SDS 17 4953, and a little later on 970110.
211269 -           ref SDS 18 2487
211270 -           ..
211271 -           USACE later published a report explaining SDS enables
211272 -           Com Metrics that strengthens teamwork, which means that
211273 -           communication and collaboration improved. ref DRP 8 6172 and
211274 -           ref DRP 8 4582  This improvement was largely unrelated to
211275 -           conventional ideas about the role of networking, since nobody
211276 -           at PG&E nor at USACE every looked at an SDS record on a LAN.
211277 -           This suggests there is a class of activity that helps people
211278 -           build and maintain shared meaning better than using networks,
211279 -           LANS, based on USACE's later report on 971007 that support
211280 -           using Com Metrics saved time and money at the rate of ROI
211281 -           10:1. ref DRP 9 0001
211282 -           ..
211283 -           SRS needs to identify how SDS supports daily work that
211284 -           improves collaboration independently from traditional ways
211285 -           networks and LANS have been deployed.
