    A pattern system for the development of collaborative applications
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2001) Guerrero, LA; Fuller, DA
    Collaborative applications provide a group of users with the facility to communicate and share data in a coordinated way. Building collaborative applications is still a complex task. In this paper we propose a pattern system to design basic aspects of data sharing, communication, and coordination for collaborative applications. These patterns: are useful for the design and development of collaborative applications as well as for the development of platforms for the construction of collaborative applications.

    A Web-based OO platform for the development of multimedia collaborative applications
    (1999) Guerrero, LA; Fuller, DA
    Building CSCW applications is still a complex task. This paper presents a software framework based on objects for building collaborative applications mainly on top of the Web. The 10 objects of the framework are box, boxObject, environment, user, role, session, broadcast, view, boxObjectType and floorControl. We argue that these objects can be combined to produce a great number of collaborative applications. The main aspects in the framework and objects design are discussed. Examples of applications that were developed using the framework are also shown. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
