TLDR
In this paper, the authors focus on applications that bring subject matter into a meeting, not on applications-such as voting or brainstorming tools-that aid the meeting process itself, and attempt both to support single-user applications running in the shared environment, and to provide a base for developing inherently shared applications.Citations

Groupware: some issues and experiences
TL;DR: C categories and examples of groupware are described and some underlying research and development issues are discussed and GROVE, a novel group editor, is explained in some detail as a salient groupware example.
Patent
Intelligent Automated Assistant
Thomas R. Gruber,Adam Cheyer,Dag Kittlaus,Didier Rene Guzzoni,Christopher Dean Brigham,Richard Donald Giuli,Marcello Bastea-Forte,Harry J. Saddler +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an intelligent automated assistant system engages with the user in an integrated, conversational manner using natural language dialog, and invokes external services when appropriate to obtain information or perform various actions.
Patent
Distributed hypermedia method for automatically invoking external application providing interaction and display of embedded objects within a hypermedia document
TL;DR: In this paper, a system allowing a user of a browser program on a computer connected to an open distributed hypermedia system to access and execute an embedded program object is presented, which is embedded into a hypermedia document much like data objects.
Patent
Using context information to facilitate processing of commands in a virtual assistant
TL;DR: In this article, a virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user, which helps to clarify the user's intent and reduce the number of candidate interpretations of user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input.

A spatial model of interaction in large virtual environments
Steve Benford,Lennart E. Fahlén +1 more
TL;DR: A spatial model of group interaction in virtual environments that defines the key abstractions of object aura, nimbus, focus and adapters to control mutual levels of awareness and is related to the object oriented modelling approach for distributed systems.

Beyond the chalkboard: computer support for collaboration and problem solving in meetings
TL;DR: The Colab meeting room at Xerox PARC as mentioned in this paper has been created to study computer support of collaborative problem solving in face-to-face meetings, and the long-term goal is to understand how to build computer tools to make meetings more effective.

A research center for augmenting human intellect
TL;DR: In this article, a multisponsor research center at Stanford Research Institute in man-computer interaction is described, where the authors describe a multiscale multi-modal system.

Collaboration awareness in support of collaboration transparency: requirements for the next generation of shared window systems
J. Chris Lauwers,Keith A. Lantz +1 more
TL;DR: While the recommendations that result are motivated by the desire to enable continued use of collaboration-transparent applications, addressing them involves the development of systems software that is distinctly collaboration-aware.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An experiment in integrated multimedia conferencing
TL;DR: The basic architectural approachs to the integration of multimedia conferencing facilities into an existing software environment are presented and an early experiment with one of them is discussed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Replicated architectures for shared window systems: a critique
TL;DR: This paper shows that the most frequent synchronization problems can be solved without changing existing software and indicates how some of the limitations of the resulting system can be removed by making applications or system servers collaboration-aware.
