Collaborative Working Environment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Collaborative Working Environment (CWE) supports people in their individual and cooperative work. Research in CWE involves organisational, technical, and social issues.
The following applications or services are considered as elements of a CWE:
- Instant Messaging
- Application sharing
- Video Conferencing
- Collaborative workspace and Document Management
- Task- and Workflow-Management
- Wiki group or community effort to edit wiki pages (e.g. wiki pages describing concepts to enable a common understanding within a group or community)
- Blogging where entries are categorised by groups or communities or other concepts supporting collaboration
Access Grid is a particular type of CWE intended to support group-to-group interactions across the Grid (Grid computing).
