Working group report on Web-based infrastructures for collaborative enterprises: ready for a second generation?

Abstract

This report of the working group summarizes the discussions and the common understanding of the active participants of the workshop. The goal of this workshop was to bring together leading researchers with different scientific backgrounds and different understandings of what the most interesting aspects or problems in the area of collaboration are, and to develop a broadening understanding of what collaboration is about. Of course the workshop did not try to address collaboration per se, but tried to focus on collaboration via the Web and to explore the limits of the current infrastructure in respect to collaboration.
