This paper describes DOLPHIN, a fully group aware application designed to provide computer support for different types of meetings: face--to--face meetings with a large interactive electronic whiteboard with or without networked computers provided to the participants, extensions of these meetings with remote participants at their desktop computers connected via computer and audio/video networks and/ or participants in a second meeting room also provided with an electronic whiteboard and networked computers. DOLPHIN supports the creation and manipulation of informal structures (e.g. free hand drawings, handwritten scribbles) as well as formal structures (e.g. hypermedia documents with typed nodes and links) and their coexistence and transformation.

This paper introduces COAST, an object-oriented toolkit for the development of synchronous groupware, which enhances the usability and simplifies the development of such applications. COAST offers basic and generic components for the design of synchronous groupware and is complemented by a methodology for groupware development. Basic features of the toolkit include transaction-controlled access to replicated shared objects, transparent replication management, and a fully optimistic concurrency control. Development support is provided by a session concept supporting the flexible coupling of shared objects' aspects between concurrent users and by a fully transparent updating concept for displays which is based on declarative programming. KEYWORDS: toolkit, synchronous collaboration, groupware, replicated objects, sessions, display updating, concurrency control 1 INTRODUCTION Groupware allows several geographically distributed people to work together with the aid of a computerized envi...

Hypertexts may be implicitly structured, based on either node content or context. In this paper, we examine implicit structures that rely on the interpretation of node’s spatial context. Hypertext authors and readers can perceive and understand these idiosyncratic structures, but, because they are implicit, they cannot be used by the system to support users ’ activities. We have explored spatially structured hypertext authored in three different systems, and have developed heuristic recognition algorithms based on the results of our analyses of the kinds of structures that people build. Our results indicate that (1) recognition of implicit structures in spatial hypertext is feasible, (2) interaction will be important in guiding such recognition, and (3) the hypertext system can provide layout facilities that will render later systematic interpretation much easier. Found structures can be used as a basis for supporting information management, as a straightforward way of promoting knowledge-base evolution, as a way of solving representational problems endemic to many hypertext systems, or as a basis for collaboration or interaction.
Supporting Collaborative Writing of Hyperdocuments in SEPIA

Today, most cooperative systems support primarily either asynchronous or synchronous (real time) cooperative work. We feel that both synchronous and asynchronous cooperation are extremely important aspects of working in groups, and to ignore one or the other is to supply only half a solution to users. In this paper, we describe the extension of the hypertext authoring system SEPIA developed at GMD-IPSI to support cooperative work among hypertext authors. Cooperative SEPIA is unique not only in its ability to support cooperative work in both of these categories, but also in how smoothly and naturally it supports the transition between these two categories.

This paper presents a taxonomy for open hypermedia systems. The purpose of the Flag 1 taxonomy is manifold: #1# to provide a framework to classify and concisely describe individual systems, #2# to characterize what an open hypermedia system is, #3# to provide a framework for comparing di#erent systems in a system independent way, and #4# to provide an overview of the design space of open hypermedia systems.

This paper presents an approach for providing hypermedia services in this heterogeneous setting. Central notions of the approach include the following: anchors are established with respect to interactive views of objects, rather than the objects themselves; composable, n-ary links can be established between anchors on different views of objects which may be stored in distinct object bases; viewers may be implemented in different programming languages; and, hypermedia services are provided to multiple, concurrently active, viewers. The paper describes the approach, supporting architecture, and lessons learned. Related work in the areas of supporting heterogeneity and hypermedia data modeling is discussed. The system has been employed in a variety of contexts including research, development, and education

Current CSCW applications support one or more modes of cooperative work. The selection of and transition between these modes is usually placed on the users. We built the SEPIA cooperative hypermedia authoring environment supporting a complete set of situations arising during collaborative work and the smooth transitions between them. While early use of the system shows the benefits of supporting smooth transitions between different collaborative modes, it also reveals some deficits regarding parallel work, management of alternative documents, or reuse of document parts. We propose to integrate version support to overcome these limitations. This leads to a versioned data management and an extended user-interface enabling concurrent users to select a certain state of their work, to be aware of related changes, and to cooperate with others either asynchronously or synchronously.
