The group agreed that stand alone programs are "dead", i.e., that modern programs should be expected to share data and functionality with other programs. Further, the "water level" for the amount of program interaction is rising as new environments become more sophisticated. The functionality that applications must share is increasing from sharing files, to object-based interaction, and beyond. Because of the rapid evolution of technologies for location-independent access, information exchange, and coordination, the group developed recommendations for funding sources, standards bodies, and environment and application developers. One general recommendation is that the subjects discussed by the group merit further study. Research, news groups, and conference discussions of standards/environment evolution were proposed. Funding sources are urged to adopt the standards model described here, promote multiple implementations early on, and then encourage coalescence of common features. Standards bodies are urged to consider the standardization of features that are already coalescing rather than to develop top-down standardizations far before the underlying processes are understood. Incremental, extensible standards are preferable to monolithic ones.

A framework based on high-level Petri nets is used to model and analyse business processes. This framework is a powerful tool to support business process reengineering efforts. The "What, how and by whom?" approach is introduced to guide the application of this Petri net based framework.

The need for developing an open CAD environment has never been greater. One of the most critical problems involved in this is the integration of already existing CAD systems into a collaborative environment. Also, the resulting open CAD system has to deal with heterogeneous environments and various different data formats. We describe a collaborative working virtual prototyping (VP) environment which integrates already existing CAD systems. The underlying product model of the VP environment is a STEP (Standard for the Exchange and the Representation of Product Model Data) based integrated product model. The paper also describes how collaborative working is achieved in the VP environment using an object-oriented data management approach. The data management module is used to distribute data in the collaborative environment and to integrate both the system and data. Finally, the paper describes the concurrency requirements of the applications integrated into the VP environment and recommends a concurrency control protocol.

The goal of the Information Sharing System (ISS) Project at the Concurrent Engineering Research Center (CERC) is to provide the means for an organization to effectively disseminate information. Thus enabling effective work in collaborative endeavors. Because corporate information exists in a variety of computer information repositories, such as databases, documents, drawings, and datafiles, it is imperative that these sources be integrated with an information sharing system to enable wider use. CERC's Web* (pronounced "WebStar") software, currently released into the public domain, can be used to integrate multiple information sources. Web* allows the exploitation of the World-Wide Web and the CORBA environment.

In our exploration of future work environments for the World Bank we proposed two concepts. First, organization overviews provide a consistent support to present the results of a variety of manual or semi-automated searches. Second this view can be adapted or expanded for each class of users to finally map the multiple personal roles an individual has in an organization. After command line interfaces, graphical user interfaces, and the current "docu-centric" designs, a natural direction is towards a role-centered approach where we believe the emphasis is on the management of those multiple roles. Large visual overviews of the organization can be rapidly manipulated and zoomed in on to reveal the multiple roles each individual plays. Each role involves coordination with groups of people and accomplishment of tasks within a schedule.

MediaWare is a distributed multimedia environment based on state-of-the-art distributed object computing standards as specified by CORBA. MediaWare enhances interoperability among media objects through the interoperable virtual connection protocol. MediaWare provides an infrastructure for building interactive multimedia applications that support synchronized, time-based media in a heterogeneous, distributed environment. This paper discusses MediaWare's architecture and its object life cycle. MediaWare's architecture includes an application layer; a quality-of-connection layer, which is an aggregation of the quality-of-service in addition to the user's interaction and synchronization requirements; an interoperable virtual connection protocol layer; an objects database including the interoperable database layer; an object request broker layer; an interface definition language (IDL) mapping layer; and finally, an object implementation layer. The paper includes examples to show MediaWare's power to generate several multimedia teleorchestrations and scenarios.
