Foil 4 Requirements for Collaborative Components

From Component Architecture for building Web-based Synchronous Collaboration Systems Workshop-Conference on "Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Enterprises (WET ICE)" at Stanford University in Palo Alto California, USA -- June 16-18, 1999. by Lukasz Beca


Web collaboration requirements:
Capture and propagation of application events: user actions in one application are reflected in other applications
Selection of relevant events: not all events need to be shared
Specification of event target components: each event must have the recipient component which knows how to interpret the event
Transfer of arbitrary data: enables information exchange among collaborative tools
Access to the collaboration session state: used to support collaboration awareness or assure synchronized access to the session resources
Integration with the Web environment: encapsulation of Web specific communication mechanisms enables creation of portable and generic applications
