Description
Summary:Groupware systems can be classified under four distinct classes, namely, messaging, conferencing, decision-making and co-authoring systems [Rodden, 1991]. In this project we have developed/configured four systems for the four classes of groupware for study. They are: MEmail:-a heterogeneous multimedia electronic message system; MacGroupie;- a Macintosh-based desktop conferencing system; GroupSystem V :- a GUI-based GDSS; CommIT :- a PC-based shared whiteboard/group editor. This project aims to explore the design and implementation issues related to these four different classes of groupware.
