Abstract

Collaborative web browsing can provide a practical approach for searching the vast quantities of information on the WWW. While browsers that support group web browsing exist, their support is limited to lockstep browsing, in which multiple clients are slaved to one browser. They do not permit individual collaborators to navigate separate paths while coordinating their efforts. This paper discusses my current investigation into modeling the behavior of, and developing tools to support, people making individual contributions to a coordinated group search effort.
