Abstract

December 2001/Vol. 44, No. 12 COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM Mark Maybury COLLABORATIVE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS FOR ANALYSIS AND DECISION SUPPORT Creating a productive collaborative environment requires a delicate balance of technology, knowledge, and trust. Ubiquitous been a dream is decades. Computer-supported lives, The virtual office has computing fornot only influencing our collaborative environmentswill require fundamental attitude adjustments. move us toward this vision by providing services such as integrated desktop conferencing, shared applications, and workflow management. They have been successfully applied to distance learning and collaborative design. In this article, we report on the creation and application of a place-based virtual collaboration environment [7] for distributed analysis and collaborative planning in mission-critical environments for intelligence and defense.
