Abstract
Informal communication and awareness of coworkers is an important factor in the effectiveness of work in office environments. This dissertation focuses on an architecture for the creation of prototype tools which allow distributed workgroups to collaborate more effectively by communicating informally. This architecture supports the investigation of the area of informal communication and awareness by allowing researchers to quickly develop new application prototypes from reusable components.
