Groupware - Workflow White Papers
Facilitating Emerging Collaboration Through Light-Weight Information Sharing
Overview Collaborative processes very often emerge from unstructured ad hoc communication activities to more structured types of formal collaboration. Groupware has focused on the two extremes of this continuum but neglected all the possible stages in-between. Email at one extreme of this continuum can be considered as today's ultimate ad hoc communication support system. Recent studies indicate that email seems to be the place where collaboration emerges. While email is extremely flexible on the one hand, it also requires the user to do a lot of work on the other hand, such as manually keeping track of the organizational process. Email today is "Overloaded" with functions it has not been designed for originally.
