....common information. The need for providing computer support to facilitate effective collaboration has spawned a large volume of research into development of tools aimed at making the collaborative activity less costly and less time consuming (Bentley et al. 1997; Callahan and Ramakrishnan, 1996; Dix, 1996; Johnson, 1996; Toye et al. 1994) The World Wide Web (WWW) has become a potent platform for collaborative work. The Collaborative Software Development Laboratory (CSDL) has been doing research in development of tools for facilitating collaboration during various phases of software 18 ....

....collaboration among geographically distributed individuals. The following section will briefly review some of these technologies. The WWW offers a globally accessible, platform independent infrastructure and being increasingly looked upon as a potential platform for richer cooperative work (Dix, 1996). However, the web was designed principally as a mechanism for information access and its use for richer forms of collaborative activity may not be obvious. There are architectural issues involved in the use of WWW for cooperation and the most obvious one is the possible extensions and or ....

The IDF creates channels between the server and clients based on IP protocols; nevertheless a Web interface will be used as an access point to the forum [Dix 96] Each participant connects first to a page on a Web server, which supplies the Java applet that implements the participant 7 client. Through this applet the user can register, browse through current forums and repositories of previous forums. When the participant joins a forum, the forum server ....

....the Web, because the medium was quickly used for other purposes. In a second development phase, Web technologies received increasing attention from CSCW designers. Indeed, they offered many advantages, particularly in terms of rapid application development, easy deployment and ubiquitous access [11, 20]. The recent entry of mobile Web clients on the consumer market (in particular the tremendous success of i mode in Japan) will raise new opportunities. From that point of view, the WWW can be considered as an implementation platform for CSCW systems. This is true for very different kinds of ....

....[15] are a few examples of Web based collaborative systems. Among other reasons, the Web is attractive because it is based on open standards. Software implementations are available on a wide range of platforms, which ensures easy access, at low cost and across an organization s boundaries. Dix [4] provides with a discussion on this issue. Web enabled handheld computers should further stimulate this interest. In a ubiquitous computing environment, they will contribute to offer a continuous network connection, fostering a range of unforeseen applications. Today, the Web is still close to a ....

....to represent the captured activity. 3.1 Awareness in CSCW systems and on the WWW The WWW was originally designed to support distributed groups and is thus, in essence, a collaborative technology. It is also a unique platform that offers many advantages when it comes to implement CSCW systems [9]: ubiquitous access, platform independence, reduced development costs, etc. A number of collaborative systems have thus been implemented on top of the Web infrastructure [3, 15, 51] sometimes augmenting the documentbased interaction with synchronous communication facilities [52, 55] Also, WebDAV ....

....final conclusions are given. 2 AWARENESS ON THE WWW There are different ways to look at the relation between the WWW and CSCW. Indeed, the Web was designed to support collaboration in distributed working teams by providing a mechanism for information sharing. Further, as thoroughly discussed in [4], the WWW offers a range of features that make it an attractive platform for building collaborative systems. BSCW [2] Futplex [10] and GroCo[22] are examples of CSCW systems that use the Web as an implementation platform. Recent work on distributed authoring and versioning with the WebDAV[6] ....

Collaborative Authoring Collaborative information sharing enables working groups dispersed over the Internet to jointly author documents [Dix 1996]. The standard protocol can offer functionality to allow collaborative authors access to documents stored in document management systems. Whilst there are potentially many different modes of collaboration that may be adopted by remote authors [Wiil 1991] there are three modes in particular which ....

The Web shows through There are many different ways of using the Web as an enabling technology for collaborative systems, from an access point to existing applications to a transport layer for distributed transactions [7]. The BSCW system employs the Web as a platform independent interface to a centralised application, so that for each operation that a user performs (e.g. requesting the listing of a folder or deleting an object) the Web browser sends a request to the BSCW server which returns a modified HTML page ....

Much research has been conducted in this area already, such as [1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9] to name but a few. Software tool flexibility: As the projects that a particular software engineer works on may differ greatly from each other, requiring the use of different methods and different kinds of artifacts to be produced, software tools must be flexible enough to permit customization to ....

.... to improve the accessibility of scientific data [4] One of the factors that may have contributed to it success is that the Web incorporated (rather than replaced) previously existing protocols like gopher and ftp, so that large amounts of legacy data were included in the Web from the start [5]. The explosive growth of the World Wide Web as a mass medium started with the emergence of browsers that were easy to use and easy to obtain. Meanwhile, the Web has changed the usage, if not the very nature, of the Internet. With the Web becoming a dominating factor in Information Technology, not ....

....This may lead to a complete breakdown in work. We therefore require an additional form of awareness: d) awareness of the state of the communication channels. An interesting observation which can be made is the fact that awareness of type (b) is basically conveying the notion of feedthrough [12]. Also the pace of feedthrough is directly proportional to the rate of providing awareness of type (c) In other words, we can infer the reasons changes happen by noticing the intermediate steps and the way changes happen. However, both awareness of type (b) and (c) will be negatively affected by ....
