Abstract

In this chapter, we will review software designed to run over a network in support of the activities of a group or organization. These activities can occupy any of several combinations of same/different places and same/different times. Software has been designed for all four of these combinations. Early applications tended to focus on only one of these cells, but more recently, software that supports several cells and the transitions among them has emerged. These technologies support collaborative activities at many levels of social aggregation. Both the individual members of groups and the organizations in which they are embedded affect and are affected by collaborative technologies.
