Abstract

The Web has been widely used as a platform for asynchronous collaboration. However, Web based synchronous groupware are still rare, especially those using standard Web browser as front-end. In this demonstration, a groupware system built on GWT and AJAX Push technology will be presented. The system provides a common foundation for developing synchronous groupware applications that consist of a set of groupware tools for various specific collaborative activities. It provides not only a desktop-application like user experience within a browser, but also retains the common Web user experience with link following and backward/forward navigation. The objective of this work is to make synchronous collaboration an integral part of collaboration support on the Web.
