Third Annual Collaborative Editing Workshop

Abstract

Collaborative editing systems support groups of people editing a document together over the computer network. People may work simultaneously on the same document, simultaneously on different copies of the document, or at different times on the original or copied document. The document types include text, diagrams, more complicated graphic objects, images, CAD drawings, multimedia, etc.. Collaborative editing research addresses many fundamental and challenging issues facing the designers of real-time groupware systems in general.
