Overview

  • Infrastructure and tools to support synchronous and asynchronous collaboration
  • Two software toolkits (CORK and BRIDGE), along with application components
  • CORK: Content Object Replication Kit
    • Support for efficiently synchronizing distributed objects
    • Fluid sync/async transitions for lower coordination overhead (vs. file sharing)
    • Fast local UI response and low bandwidth consumption (vs. screen sharing)
    • Support for adapting single user software
  • Components: Synchronous text editor, whiteboard, mapping tools, chat, threaded discussion, charting tools, shared files, spreadsheets, concept maps, delegated account databases, calendars
  • BRIDGE: Basic Resources for Integrated Distributed Group Environments
    • Toolkit for combining CORK components in flexible environments that can adapt to evolving tasks
    • Textual composition, graphical composition, and interactive composition of CORK-based components
    • Shared artifacts are web-accessible; interactive software launched from the web
    • Other services: versioning, synchronous awareness, naming/organization, component lifecycle management
