“…In the above scenario, we have to support collaboration engineers in designing collaborative processes (R1), such as strategy building, root cause analysis, and design suitable collaboration support (R2). For that the GSS needs to support the integration of components that support collaborative processes (R3), by allowing re-using of existing components [3] Furthermore, it must be able to share and exchange data efficiently (interoperability) between components (R4) [3], [16], [17], in order to reuse the data gathered for example from the first activity (text-based brainstorming) into the second activity (diagram-based brainstorming). Additionally, we do not know all the support that is needed so that the set of components must be extensible (R5) [3]) by software developers and an API (R6) to support them [18] should be provided.…”

The need for computer supported collaboration has grown over the last years and made collaboration an important factor within organizations. This trend has resulted in the development of a variety of tools and technologies to support he various forms of collaboration. Many collaborative processes, e.g. strategy building, scenario analysis, root cause analysis and requirements engineering, requires various collaboration support tools. Within these synchronous collaborative applications to create, evaluate, elaborate, discuss, and revise graphical models, e.g. data flow, fishbone and brainstorming diagrams, play an important role. Currently, the necessary tools are not integrated and flexible enough to support such processes. In this paper, we present a case study done to a synchronous collaborative brainstorming diagram editor-CLSD that is integrated in a flexible group support system. Our approach goes beyond the current state of the art as we can be seamlessly integrated with other collaboration support tools such as text-based brainstorming or voting.

A key aspect in groupware applications is to provide support for quality collaboration in workgroups. Consequently, some non-functional requirements that are traditionally associated with single-user applications are also becoming demanded for this kind of software. Due to the use of a wide range of ad-hoc methods and development techniques, as well as differences in underlying communication technologies and conceptualization of the applications themselves, there are some important pitfalls in terms of applying methods and techniques to systematically handle non-functional requirements in groupware applications. In this paper, we present an analysis of non functional requirements and specific functional requirements for groupware applications, and propose a framework that serves as a basis for the satisfaction of relevant non-functional requirements in groupware applications: interoperability, integration, usability, extensibility and reusability. The framework consists of a set of mechanisms to support group awareness about the manipulation of multi-user interfaces, a communication and coordination middleware, and a shared workspace encompassing first class concepts present in the system (users, roles, applications, documents, etc.), and their relationships. A case study shows how several groupware applications may be integrated and may interoperate under this approach.
