Abstract

An open systems approach for supporting groupware is advocated and an open systems middleware technology, called Wilde, is presented. Wilde is built on the principle of separating design from functional code. A distinguishing feature of Wilde is that it supports a design level paradigm that supports system redesign. A Wilde based systems can be redesigned after it has been deployed, and even as it executes. Wilde’s implementation is discussed, and an example of its use with groupware is presented.
