2 Distributed Collaborative Work Framework • Problem • Collaborative Work Environments are not generally accepted by end-users! Why? • Tools are to specific! • Targeted towards special groups! • Takes certain work patterns for granted! • Supports either synchronous or asynchronous collaboration. • Not scalable! Networks, devices, sessions… • Solution • Create a framework that allow end-users, companies, schools etc. to create the applications they need for collaboration! • Kåre Synnes, PhD • Media Technology • Luleå University of Technology • Kare.Synnes@ltu.se • http://media.csee.ltu.se/
