Background on semi-synchronous collaboration


Definitions

Minör & Magnusson (1993) describe their hierachical editing model with revision control at each level as a semi-synchronous model

Gross (1999) [in describing the CSCW3 prototype] "semi-synchronous features support easy transitions between single-user activities, asynchronous collaboaration, and synchronous collaboration ..."

Spellman (1996) "Reliance on and support of 'semi-synchronous' collaboration, where the synchronicity of the collaboration depends on availability of collaborators rather than the mechanism chosen for collaboration."

Vortman & Hochberg (????) described chat, application sharing, and whiteboard sharing as "semi-synchronous communication," called voice and video conferencing "synchronous communication," and e-mail "asynchronous communication".

Lee (????) "Second, while there is much interest in real-time forms of collaboration like instant messaging and video conferencing, large numbers of asynchronous and semi-synchronous forms of collaboration exist."
