W3C

Workshop on WWW and Collaboration

September 11-12, 1995

Cambridge, MA


Organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in cooperation with the World Wide Web Consortium

The goal of this workshop was to establish a context for the W3C as it proceeds to recommend protocol changes that will address collaboration requirements. The focus was to be on extensions to the Web protocols that support wide-area asynchronous collaborative applications, particularly extensions that can have impact by early '96. The workshop was also intended to be a starting point for continuing work on developing technology to facilitate collaboration over the World Wide Web.
