....Flexible CSCW toolkits differ in the functionality they target and therefore in the kinds of application aspects that they facilitate. As an example of this variety, consider: Prospero [7, 6] which concentrates on distributed data management and consistency control mechanisms; Intermezzo [8] focus on the coordination aspects of collaboration, in support of fluid interactions, offering user awareness, session management, and policy control; GroupKit [23] offers a basic infrastructure that includes distributed process coordination, groupware widgets and session management; Roussev, ....

....because of the restrictions they impose due to their closed vocabularies. Two lines of work pertain to adaptable CSCW infrastructures: 1) tailorable systems, usually meaning that extensions are implemented by end users (e.g. in [31, 48, 29] and 2)work on extensibility by developers (e.g. [15, 17, 45, 46]. The Neem Platform follows the latter approach it is meant to be adapted and extended by developers following a user centered approach. We heretofore concentrate on discussing only this approach. Flexible CSCW toolkits differ in the functionality they target and therefore in the kinds of ....

....only a single, distinguished user, called the facilitator, can invoke these operations. The rooms policy is a place based policy, where access to groups of groupware tools is granted to people who enter a virtual room, which is itself a cluster of current participants and tools. Intermezzo [Edwards 1995] is another framework for controlling session management and awareness. It provides fine grained control of awareness information, allowing the name, phone, location, activities, and other attributes of users to be protected independently. It also offers a powerful interpretive language for ....

....More experienced programmers may define special initialization routines, provide a new user interface, and take advantage of some of the more complicated features of the query language. Query Language The query language in Audio Aura is heavily influenced by the Intermezzo s database system [5]. This language is the subset of SQL most relevant to our task domain, supporting our dual goals of speed and ease of authoring. A query involves two objects: AuraQuery: The root node of the query that contains general information about the query as a whole. AuraQueryClause: The basic clause ....

....application dependent or independent settings. Activity based awareness can provide a wealth of useful information for coordination. Further, it can deliver information that is complimentary to other approaches. This model has been implemented using the Intermezzo collaboration support environment (Edwards, 1995). We present a systematic format for representing activity, examine the utility of this approach to awareness, and compare it to other awareness schemes. 2. AWARENESS THROUGH ACTIVITY Gutwin and Greenberg report in (Gutwin, 1996) a set of facets of awareness that should be considered when ....
....are of paramount importance in a coordination support system that makes awareness data available to users and applications. Intermezzo uses a novel approach in which the awareness system itself is used to regulate access control to awareness data objects. This scheme is discussed in detail in (Edwards, 1995). 6.3. Persistence Adds Value A third point to make about activity based modeling is that persistence can significantly increase the power of the system. The activity based approach is particularly useful for capturing the real time aspects of awareness: the instantaneous condition of the ....

....start time) but also dynamically (changing as the application runs) The facilities described in this paper have been implemented atop the Intermezzo collaboration support environment. Intermezzo is designed to provide applications with support for coordination, rendezvous, and awareness [7]. ACCESS CONTROL AS A BASIS FOR POLICY The notion of policy is broad, even in the non technical usage of the word. How can we devise a formal system that allows us to capture the extremely general set of controls that users may wish to place on their environments At this point, we present some ....
