Collaborative Working Environment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Collaborative Working Environment (CWE) supports people (e.g., E-professionals) 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
