Groupware Systems (GS) support team activities in which a group of users interacts to combine their skills, abilities, and work to achieve a common goal (Herrera et al., 2014). GSs assist the collaborative working process through awareness information that helps keep people aware of events beyond their current tasks (Dourish & Bellotti, 1992), for example, understanding who is participating, where they are, what they say, and what they do (Storey et al., 2005). This insight helps people make inferences about the intentions, actions, or even emotions of others, and provides a context for group activities and social interactions (Markopoulos & Mackay, 2009).
