| Abstract | There is an increasing need to build an understanding of group facilitation in distributed requirements engineering. Group facilitation is an important element of group approaches to requirements engineering, which is being challenged by the emergence of distributed practices in software specification and development. Thus thorough empirical investigation of human facilitation in computer-mediated requirements meetings is needed. This paper presents an exploratory study of facilitation in distributed requirements teams. Three professional facilitators mediate 15 three-person groups in an experimental simulation of software requirements negotiation. Facilitation in face-to-face meetings is contrasted with four group settings in which the facilitator is physically separated from the group or co-located with key stakeholders. Rich qualitative and behavioural data enables an understanding of differences and similarities in the facilitation of face-to-face and distributed groups and of aspects that were detrimental or beneficial to their facilitation. The empirical evidence indicates that a reduced richness of social behaviours in computer-mediated group settings (1) made the group facilitation problematic but also (2) enabled certain facilitation support in the medium itself. The findings of the study are discussed in the light of existing models of the role of the facilitator. Advice from the expert facilitators is presented in the form of recommendations for the facilitation of distributed requirements teams, and worthwhile directions for further research are outlined. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
