چکیده
With this paper, we present a collaborative environment called the WebDesk, that attempts to create a single homogeneous and integrated framework for distributed collaboration. The WebDesk is part of the Esprit 20598 MATES project, which is supported by the Information Technology part of the 4:th Framework Program of the European Union. We believe that the WebDesk will be a forerunner in utilizing advanced computer supported cooperation for Distributed Engineering Environments and Interactive Remote Maintenance systems.
