As part of the Lorentz workshop, "Interdisciplinary Insights into Group and Team Dynamics," held in Leiden, Netherlands, this article describes how Geeks and Groupies (computer and social scientists) may benefit from interdisciplinary collaboration toward the development of killer apps in team contexts that are meaningful and challenging for both. First, we discuss interaction processes during team meetings as a research topic for both Groupies and Geeks. Second, we highlight teamwork in health care settings as an interdisciplinary research challenge. Third, we discuss how an automated solution for optimal team design could benefit team effectiveness and feed into team-based interventions. Fourth, we discuss team collaboration in massive open online courses as a challenge for both Geeks and Groupies. We argue for the necessary integration of social and computational research insights and approaches. In the hope of inspiring future interdisciplinary collaborations, we develop criteria for evaluating killer apps-including the four proposed here-and discuss future research challenges and opportunities that potentially derive from these developments.
作为在荷兰莱顿举办的“群体与团队动态的跨学科洞察”洛伦兹研讨会的一部分，本文描述了极客和粉丝（计算机科学家和社会科学家）如何通过跨学科合作受益，以开发对双方都有意义且具有挑战性的团队环境中的杀手级应用程序。首先，我们将团队会议期间的互动过程作为粉丝和极客共同的研究主题进行讨论。其次，我们强调医疗保健环境中的团队合作是一项跨学科研究挑战。第三，我们讨论一种用于优化团队设计的自动化解决方案如何能够提高团队效率并为基于团队的干预措施提供支持。第四，我们将大规模在线开放课程中的团队合作作为极客和粉丝共同面临的挑战进行讨论。我们主张将社会和计算研究的见解与方法进行必要的整合。为了激发未来的跨学科合作，我们制定了评估杀手级应用程序的标准——包括此处提出的四项标准——并讨论了可能源于这些发展的未来研究挑战和机遇。
