Abstract

This paper presents an object-based model to support the construction of user interfaces of CSCW systems. The model divides a cooperative system into layers and each layer is formed by component objects. A principal focus of the model is the provision of an object linking mechanism which links the relevant objects in the same interactive layers of multiple users to realize multi-level collaboration which is independent of the application. In addition, multi-level collaboration obtains fine-grained collaboration of the cooperative system and improves its collaboration efficiency. The object-based method used in this paper ensures a structured collaboration, realizes a simple collaboration management, and facilitates cooperative system development.
