Design and implementation of CB Lite

The CB Lite project presents a case study in the design to integrate flexible ,and active support for cooperative work activities into ,an existing environment. The system’s underlying philosophy ,and architecture ,are based on the ConversationBuilder work pioneered at the University of Illinois. Our goals for this project were to understand the fundamental ,architectud issues of this technology in order to integrate it with the operating environment of the PC platform. Specifically. we sought to define a formal model of the system’s ,architecture, to define a high ievel kanguage for specifying cooperative process models ,and to build a prototype embodying the model to interpret the language.
