From What is a Portal? CPS714 Computational Science Information Track -- May 26 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Notification mechanism enhances collaboration as enables dynamic federation of relevant objects to be automatically maintained
  • Kodak would like this service to group together digital versions of photographs taken at particular events (e.g. a wedding)
2 Notification can be used for people so their presence on-line can be made known to those in particular collaborative users
3 Users decide if notification causes an active signal (send electronic mail, ring a buzzer) or passively alters a list on a web page.
4 Event Model unifies synchronous and asynchronous models of collaboration
  • Event either triggers action immediately and/or asynchronously ( sending e-mail immediately is synchronous act generating asynchronous record)
