Elaboration of the primary issues in designing collaborative systems, including issues of group size and structure, floor control, privacy, and groupware adoption.

Groupware is software that helps groups of people work together. This introduction explains the goals and purposes of groupware, and some of the challenges involved.

An overview of the primary groupware applications, including both synchronous groupware (video, chat, shared drawing) and asynchronous (email, workflow, newsgroups).

Abstract and text of CSCW research papers from GoupLab, 1983-1999.

A "manifesto" for how groupware technologies could dramatically improve the efficiency of scientific collaboration.

An annotated bibliography, through 1991, of computer supported cooperative work. This bibliography is a part of the Computer Science Bibliography Collection.

provides a physical, organizational, technological, and intellectual environment conducive to collaborative development of world-class software engineering skills.

Activity theory applied to the design of Groupware.

Research paper about virtual organizations and the information technology needed to support them. Published in Crossroads, the ACM student magazine.

This study found that the use of a computer conferencing system in a research and development lab was significantly shaped by a set of intervening actors, "mediators", who actively guided and manipulated the technology and its use over time.
