Abstract

Collaboration during information retrieval has been identified by many empirical studies as a common pattern of teams in everyday work, e.g. [5]. This collaboration is characterized by two or more individuals, who set out together to resolve a shared information need [4]. In this paper, we present an experimental evaluation of different search result division strategies in simulated collaborative search tasks. We compare our proposed approach, which defines optimum collaboration strategies as integer linear problem, with proven principles like, e.g., the PRP.
