Abstract: The purpose of collaboration technology is to
        facilitate and enhance the daily work and
        interactions of people and machines bound together
        under the umbrella of a common goal, project, or
        job. This chapter looks at how work on complex
        projects gets accomplished, emphasizing the key
        components of communication, cooperation, and
        coordination of dispersed people. A working
        environment is envisioned where database,
        communications and user-interface technologies are
        sewn together to support the real activities of
        people involved in projects.
