....to implement groupware applications that interact with the user in a more efficient way. The applications implemented in Active 25 Mail use non intrusive mechanisms to ask users to join the application, tolerate delayed responses and are easy to use because of their similarity with e mail [18]. Active Mail made an extension to mail by adding active messages that are piggybacked onto an ordinary mail message. Active messages are entities that contain communication ports, which provide communication and cooperation facilities to interact with other users. The interaction is established ....

[8] have chosen this example as one application for their concept of Active Mail. When an agent receives Active Mail, it pops up a convenient Motif style form, with which the user easily can check fields or enter values. The decision making for negotiation, however, is not performed by the agent; the ....

If not and for really remote people outside CMU, we will try to apply concepts like Computational Mail [3] or Active Mail [8]. A second experiment shall be the connection of EFORMS to the original CAP apprentice, i.e without the agent. The interesting question is whether human beings, who possess the comfortable EFORM support, still want to have an agent working in the background. They would keep full personal control ....

Our work represents a complimentary paradigm for asynchronous collaboration that allows users to record and replay a session.

....computersupported cooperative work, groupware, collaboration technology, computational e mail, active e mail. 1 INTRODUCTION Electronic mail (e mail) is a standard and popular mechanism for asynchronous communication, enabling users to send messages to one another. Computational e mail [1, 2, 4], also called active or enabled e mail, extends the power of standard e mail, allowing a message to contain a command script. The command script in a message is executed automatically when the message is read, enabling a wide variety of actions to be encapsulated in messages. For example, a sender ....
