A Multiple-Perspective Architecture for CSCW Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a mutiple-perspective collaboration metamodel, which mixes Place-Centred and People-Centred perspectives. It allows instances of the metamodel to be derived and experimented until the more adequate to a particular situation is found. It also allows parametric changes in run-time, enhancing the flexibility of the metamodel. The motivation for this work was extracted from the necessity of developing for a global oil & gas company a collaborative virtual workspace for disaster management of oil & gas offshore structures.

A Multi-agent Architecture for CSCW Systems: From Organizational Semiotics Perspective
This paper describes a multi-agent architecture to support CSCW systems modelling. Since CSCW involves different organizations, it can be seen as a social model. From this point of view, we investigate the possibility of modelling CSCW by agent technology, and then based on organizational semiotics method a multi-agent architecture is proposed via using EDA agent model. We explain the component...
متن کاملA common notification service
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 کاملRule-mitigated Collaboration Framework
Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) research is the discipline that explores how to utilize computing and networking technologies to facilitate cooperation and collaboration among people. A variety of research has been conducted on CSCW architecture. However, how to ensure CSCW system effectiveness and efficiency on supporting collaboration remains a challenge. In this paper we present a...
متن کاملXML-based Synchronous CSCW
Developing proprietary CSCW applications is prohibitively expensive. Despite a decade of research into CSCW, there is no framework for embedding CSCW applications. For the synchronous distributed mode (same time, different location) of groupware, the framework would have to include two basic ingredients: a shared view (What You See Is What I See) and awareness. Here we propose a generic solutio...
متن کاملA Scalable QoS Routing Architecture for Real-Time CSCW Applications
Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) has the potential of providing the environment needed for groups of diverse users to cooperate in real-time to achieve their common goals. This potential has been under-utilized due to the lack of cooperation between CSCW systems and the underlying network services to accommodate the dynamic behavior and varying Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements of...
