Groupware allows many concurrent users to work on the same project. Whereas a single user system focuses on the individual, Groupware focuses on the group. We take a look at what makes a CSCW application, the categories of CSCW applications, and the differences between CSCW and Groupware. We compare a number of academic and commercial systems against a number of criteria. We conclude by comparing each of these systems against all criteria. We notice the similarities and differences between each of these systems and our Groupware system, Nomad.
