The advances in technologies and globalization have made today's market relentlessly competitive. Practitioners are trying to maintain their competitiveness by working together more effectively and efficiently. The challenge to the research community is how we can device theories, methods, and technologies to improve the current practice of collaboration. In this talk, a research program on Interaction Science & Collaboration Engineering will be presented that attempts to develop concepts, methods, technology foundations, and demonstrations of the nature of interactions between non-intelligent and intelligent beings and how technologies may be developed to engineer human collaborations in order to make them more effective and efficient. A cognitive, complex system based, and organizational approach is taken in our endeavor. Example research projects and some preliminary results will be presented.
