Abstract

As Internet has become the de-facto standard for any modem application, software needs to be reconsidered to address collaboration issues. Aspects like awareness and knowledge management are becoming vital to effective interactive software products. In this scenario, middleware plays a key role as enabling technology toward the goal of development of integrated workspaces. This paper describes a novel collaborative software system and discusses its component-based architecture. The aim of the system is to integrate dispersed knowledge to deliver comprehensive workspaces. Component technology enables the development of open systems that can be easily modified to accommodate both new features and new interaction styles. In the future, collaboration services are envisaged to become part of middleware services.
