چکیده
This paper presents the object-centered database system LINCKS as a platform for applications in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). LINCKS is an object-centered database management system with extended support for multiple views, temporal data handling and composite objects. Several features, such as the parallel editing support, make sharing and reuse of objects and cooperation between users easy. The current main application interface to the database is a document editing environement under X11 with a hypertext like browser.

Generic XML-based Interface for Computer Supported Collaborative Work in an HLA Environment
Knowledge is rarely concentrated to one specific geographic location, but is often spread to different corners of the world. Groupware can help reduce these distances and facilitate cooperation. The High Level Architecture (HLA) is a framework for creating computer simulations out of component simulations. The main goal of the HLA is to provide a framework for simulation-developers to use when ...

In this paper, a flexible and extensible platform for computer supported cooperative work based on web service technology is presented. This platform, called HERMES, enables collaboration among users of heterogeneous applications over the web. Web services provide an open, standard communication infrastructure that eliminates dependencies on proprietary technologies and platforms. Heterogeneous...
متن کاملChallenges and Perspectives for Cooperative Work on the Web
This paper investigates some of the issues which will determine the viability of the world-wide web as an infrastructure for cooperative work. In fact, taking a weak definition of collaboration, the web is already a very successful collaborative environment. In addition, it is already being used as the basis for experimental and commercial groupware. The paper takes this as a starting point and...
متن کاملWhat Does Computer Support for Cooperative Work Mean? a Structurational Analysis of Computer Supported Cooperative Work
Technical developments in electronic communication and computing coupled with new understanding of relationships between computers and work processes has given impetus to a significant amount of research in the area of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). Much of this work, however, lacks strong theoretical foundations, and there is no clear definition of CSCW, the major research questio...
متن کاملA Collaborative Platform for Heterogeneous CSCW Systems: Case Study of Academic Applications
A variety of computer based information systems are used to support the activities in an academic environment. These systems are used for conducting lectures, designing and reviewing modules, designing and writing assignments, laboratory work, and computer based assessment. The systems are typically designed from scratch if the existing systems do not meet the requirements. This incurs signific...
