Abstract

Environments for structural computing have seen significant recent development. Generally, they provide several hypermedia facilities involving several applications. Users within these environments may perform activities involving several applications and handle several types of hypermedia data. In this context, they need within the structural computing environment some cooperation facilities that help them to coordinate their activities and manage their roles in cooperation. This paper proposes to integrate some cooperation services into the Construct structural computing environment. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2002.
