There is (of course!) a lot of work on these issues from various 
perspectives. I come to think on work psychology, stress, etc, 
related to ICT. Also, of course, the issue of "organizational 
memory", that has been as much promoted as critisized. I myself have, 
together with my doctoral students, been working some on the issue of 
ICT in collaborative work with "dynamic systems": control rooms,of 
different kinds. Some journal publications that should be easily 
available are:

Garbis, C. & Wærn, Y. (1999). Team coordination and communication in 
a rescue command staff - The role of public representations. Le 
Travail Humain, 62, 273-291.
Artman, H., Waern, Y. (1999) Distributed cognition in an Emergency 
Co-ordination center. Cognition technology and Work, 1:237-246

You can also approach Christer Garbis or Henrik Artman directly for 
knowing more about their dissertations within this field of "dynamic 
control": chrga at tema.liu.se, artman at nada.kth.se.

Good luck!
Yvonne
