Hello,

My name is Michal Jacovi and I belong to the Collaboration Technologies department in IBM Haifa Research Lab. My academic background is in Computer Science (MSc, 1993), but my personal interest and my professional expertise focus on the human aspects of interaction with technology, and specifically on collaboration through technology. A list of my publications may be found here, and as you can see there, I deal with community-building and diffusion of technologies. In my current role I'm involved in quite a few of the projects of my group, which deal with: presence, social networks, and capturing of experiences.

I recently joined CoreLabs and will work on WP4, on collecting requirements for the collaboration platform, and on animating the community.

I'm looking forward to getting input from you on requirements you wish to add to the platform. I will soon open a dedicate post for that discussion, but please feel free to comment here until then.
