Abstract: Computing and telecommunications were used during the Second
International Congress of the International Society for Technology
Assessment (ISTA) to facilitate the discussion and contribute to the
Congress report. In particular, the telecommunications activity was
designed to enhance interaction on substantive issues and convergence on
conclusions and interpretations. Only incidentally were we conducting
an experiment or trial (with support from NSF) for a community of
potential users of computer-aided conferencing.

It has been described as one of the most sophisticated of all the systems. Its development has been closely tied to the MTS operating system (see below) which has to date limited its portability to other types of computer systems.

- Computer-Based Teleconferencing and its Impact on Command and Staff Relationships within the United States Army, John Nicholas Leski, Jr., Materials Reliability Division, U.S. Army Materials Technology Labratory, June 1989.

- Abstract: This thesis considers how computer-based teleconferencing, as a new communications
technology, is changing the way the United States Army performs its
peacetime staffing functions and may be altering traditional command and staff
relationships. It describes the Army's use of teleconferencing and attempts to
forecast how this technology will shape headquarters' functions (the preparation
of staff studies, plans, and policies) in the future. This thesis examines "white
collar" productivity within the Army and attempts to analyze how personnel who
use teleconferencing view their work. Concepts explored are: teleconferencing
and its impact on overall job effectivene ss; teleconferencing and staff officer
efficiency; teleconferencing and its impact on information access; and teleconferencing
and its impact on responsibility, authority, and organizational
structure. A survey was conducted on-line within the ARMY:FORUMNET system. Survey
respondents represent a cross-section of the Army ranging from general officer
to sergeant (N=203 respondents). Results show that computer-based teleconferencing
is having a positive effect on staff procedures and command and
staff relationships. Users report teleconferencing has increased their overall
job effectiveness and has made their jobs easier.
