Abstract

A heterogeneous distributed system that enables people in geographically separate locations to share a common workspace is presented. In particular, the applicability of such a system to the notion of asymmetric collaboration is illustrated by a chess scenario. In our system one user (novice) works in the real world and the other user (expert) works in a parallel virtual world. They are assisted in this task by an Intelligent Agent (IA) with considerable knowledge about the environment.
