State Treemap: An Awareness Widget for Multi-Synchronous Groupware
نویسندگان
چکیده
Awareness widgets facilitate coordination for both synchronous and asynchronous groupware systems. Unfortunately, they cannot be used for multi-synchronous groupware systems. With a group of architects, we have designed a new awareness widget for multisynchronous groupware system called “State Treemap”. We have developed and integrated this widget in a platform for hosting virtual teams of architects. In this paper, we describe the motivations, the design and the realization of this original widget
