Flexible Communication Support for CSCW Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern computer-supported cooperative work applications (CSCW) supporting same-time/di erentplace interaction are required to open several communication channels. Each of these channels has its own Quality of Service (QoS) and is implemented by a speci c protocol stack. Typically, these channels need to be synchronized but inter-stack dependencies are hard to express with current communication architectures. The paper proposes a novel approach to the development of communication software supporting a style of micro-protocol composition that satis es the requirements imposed by CSCW applications.

Aspects - Composing CSCW Applications
Current approaches to CSCW application support are limited by their failure to support application distribution, internal application concurrency, anonymous communication, easy application integration, and run-time application behaviour modi cation. This paper argues that these limitations may be addressed at the language level. Accordingly, we introduce a new model and language which assimilat...
متن کاملCover Page for Paper: A WEB SERVICE-BASED PLATFORM FOR CSCW OVER HETEROGENEOUS END- USER APPLICATIONS Authors
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...

CORBA is a promising software platform for CSCW applications. However, the current CORBA ORBs only provide low-level services. Building CSCW applications is still a complex task. In this paper, we discuss how a common notification service can be added to the CORBA architecture to deal with common user interface events in a distributed environment. This notification service is based on the alrea...

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...
