TLDR
This paper describes an infrastructure which addresses issues by providing the abstraction of a shared information space and in this context offers a variety of collaboration specific consistency models and coordination mechanisms.Abstract:
In the eighties, the personal computing paradigm has fundamentally changed the way people work within organizations. The nineties will see a similar revolution-workgroup computing. This term describes IT support of work groups in the context of complex, interdisciplinary tasks in geographically dispersed organisations. Efficient information sharing is the key to effective collaboration support. In the context of typical collaborative environments however, (geographically dispersed, mobile and location independent sites, independent component failures, concurrent activities) building applications which support information sharing between separated and autonomous operating users is extremely difficult. This paper describes an infrastructure which addresses these issues by providing the abstraction of a shared information space and in this context offers a variety of collaboration specific consistency models and coordination mechanisms. >read more

Collaborative authoring modes
TL;DR: A collaborative authoring application provides an authoring environment in which two or more users can edit a document concurrently as mentioned in this paper, where each user edits a copy of the document, sends updates to a master copy, and receives updates from the master copy.

Shared space for communicating information
TL;DR: In this article, a shared space application includes a number of interactive tools that can be used to persist various communications between associated computing devices of a computing environment, such as a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse.

Collaboration apparatus between information processing systems, integrated information processing system, and recording medium storing a collaboration program between information processing systems
Akira Kudo,Haruko Sota +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose an approach for allowing a plurality of information processing systems to collaborate with each other without the awareness of the difference in architecture, and an integrated information processing system in which the information systems are combined by using such a collaboration apparatus between them.

Supporting Autonomous Work and Reintegration in Collaborative Systems
TL;DR: A generic Merge And Resolve Conflicts (MARC) component is presented which provides history based automatic conflict detection and semi-automatic resolution on object nets and an implementation of this component extends the CoNus CSCW system by Siemens Corporate Technology with functionality supporting autonomous work and subsequent reintegration.

History-based reintegration of replicated shared workspaces
TL;DR: The basic mechanisms and the realization of a generic MARC (Merge And Resolve Conflicts) component providing history-based reintegration are described, which uses operations on an object-oriented data model and defines conflicts in terms of operations as representation of inconsistencies.

Time, clocks, and the ordering of events in a distributed system
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of one event happening before another in a distributed system is examined, and a distributed algorithm is given for synchronizing a system of logical clocks which can be used to totally order the events.
