Abstract
Recently, several document management systems supporting asynchronous cooperation over the world-wide web have been proposed. Such systems provide access controlled areas for sharing objects related to a specific topic among a group of people working together. Configuration Management Support is however not present or very much restricted in these systems. We argue that such support is necessary and discuss how configuration management concepts should be integrated in cooperation tools. We describe our WebRC system, the first web-based cooperation tool with full configuration management support.
