“…While the travel itinerary planner is a very different application to the software development tools, users require very similar kinds of collaborative work support. Such groupware functionality might include 20 When developing the systems illustrated in Figure 1, we have reused many software components, as reported elsewhere 19 . However, much of the collaborative work support these environments provide we originally built into the various framework abstractions and components we reused 17,19 .…”

“…Automatic notification of updates to views via communication mechanisms should be provided so users are told when others do 'interesting things'. A shared work schedule ('to-do list') is often desirable, along with work co-ordination via workflow tools [1,20].…”

Many software applications require co-operative work support, including collaborative editing, group awareness, versioning, messaging and automated notification and coordination agents. Most approaches hard-code such facilities into applications, with fixed functionality and limited ability to reuse groupware implementations. We describe our recent work in seamlessly adding such capabilities to component-based applications via a set of collaborative work-supporting plug-in software components. We describe a variety of applications of this technique, along with descriptions of the novel architecture, user interface adaptation and implementation techniques for the collaborative work-supporting components that we have developed. We report on our experiences to date with this method of supporting collaborative work enhancement of component-based systems, and discuss the advantages of our approach over conventional techniques.

“…The problem is that this method is very limited because these videos generate too much network traffic, need a long time to be downloaded, and do not permit the material to be easily re-edited by the students. Related solutions based on the analysis of interaction histories have been proposed [4,5]. One solution to the previous problem that is closely related to these proposals is to use a guided collaborative tutoring system, which permits tutors and students to review their work and collaborate between them using the same collaborative applications.…”

El acceso a la versión del editor puede requerir la suscripción del recurso Access to the published version may require subscription Abstract: In this paper we describe FACT, a Framework for the Analysis of the learning process and Collaborative Tutoring, developed at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain. First we describe guided collaborative tutoring; the type of tutoring that FACT makes possible. After that, we show the architecture of FACT, and different applications developed with it, as well as how it can be used to build new teaching tools from simple training applications. FACT uses learning histories and related annotations to enhance the guidance of the teaching process. It allows students and tutors to review the work of the students and the history of their work sessions, using the original application, while allowing reviewers to extend that history. Optionally, reviewers can attach commentaries to some points of the extended and revised histories. The generated applications can be used collaboratively, either synchronously or asynchronously. The generated histories can be stored in order to create a knowledge database with solved problems and commentaries from tutors and students.

RESUMECet article décrit un environnement et une démarche pour la construction et l'évolution de systèmes collaboratifs tenant compte du contexte. La contextualisation et l'adaptation sont les caractéristiques majeures de cet environnement. La construction initiale se base sur les scénarios, qui sont ensuite transformés en modèle de comportement plus global. Ce modèle est ensuite « projeté » sur l'architecture informatique organisée en 3 niveaux (applicatif, support collaboratif générique, infrastructure réseau). La couche applicative exploite le modèle d'architecture AMF-C pour obtenir un système coopératif adaptable. Cette adaptation s'appuie sur une bibliothèque de patterns et de composants et sur la possibilité de proposer des nouveaux scénarios modifiant le modèle de comportement ainsi que les différents éléments de l'architecture informatique. ABSTRACTIn this paper we describe an environment and a process for the design and evolution of context-sensitive collaborative systems. Contextualisation and adaptation are the main characteristics of this environment. The initial design is based on scenarios, which are converted into a global behaviour model. This model is then mapped on the 3-level software architecture (application level, generic collaborative support, network infrastructure). The AMF-C architecture model is used for modelling the application level in order to obtain an adaptable collaborative system. This adaptation is based on a library of patterns and software components and by taking into account new scenarios which modify the be-haviour model as well as the software architecture.
