Abstract

COOPDRAW is a synchronous shared graphical editor developed in a COOP environment [1]. The COOPDRAW editor's originality and attractiveness stem from the multiagent concept which, besides the extensive modularity and compatibility with distributed applications, enables CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) needs such as information sharing, view multiplicity and view distribution to be processed naturally.This paper briefly presents the problems involved in the software architecture of synchronous groupware and the COOP environment and goes on to describe the development of COOPDRAW.
