Abstract

In this paper, we present a specification language developed for WORLDS, a next generation computer-supported collaborative work system. Our specification language, called Introspect, employs a meta-level architecture to allow run-time modifications to specifications. We believe such an architecture is essential to WORLDS' ability to provide dynamic support for collaborative work in an elegant fashion.
