Abstract

Working in a group consists of setting up an environment that allows the different participants to work together. The collaboration has now become then a discipline that fascinates the distributed environments as well as the Human/Machine interactions. The big challenge of the CSCW environments is to be able to give the necessary mechanisms in order to carry out effective collaborative work i.e. to put the actors together in a virtual room which simulates a real situation of groupware meeting. We would like to present a model of architecture that places the actors in a situation of virtual grouping centered on the awareness and that spreads on a Continuum of collaboration representing a continuity of the group work augmented by the functional spaces of the clover model. We have applied this model of architecture to the European project of tele-neurology (TeNeCi) which offers a platform of telecommuting enriched by several functionalities presented to the neurologists to assure a telediagnosis in the group.
