Database Support for Computer Supported Cooperative Work
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is possible to realize systems supporting cooperative work among users in distance location utilizing recent network technology. Most current computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) systems, however, offer identical display views to all the users through video in order to simulate real world. We use database functions and non-video based communication tools to realize such cooperative work functions by providing different display view to each user, in order to realize powerful CSCW systems. Applications in VIEW(Virtual Interactive Environment for Workgroups) project include VIEW Office, an office system, VIEW Classroom, a distance education system, and VIEW Conf, a conference system. VIEW Media is a multi-user distributed hypermedia system for interactive presentation that provides media services as a basic communication facility in VIEW applications.
