Abstract

Egret is a publically available, advanced framework for construction of computer-supported cooperative work applications. Egret provides an approach to multi-user, interactive application development that differs markedly from other frameworks or infrastructures, such as Groupkit, WWW, or Lotus Notes. This short paper introduces Egret, its architecture, design philosophy, selected applications, and interest groups within the software engineering community. It concludes with information on how Egret's sources, binaries, and documentation may be obtained free of charge using the Internet.
