Abstract

Cooperative spaces can be viewed from the three structural dimensions process, team, and content. Each of these dimensions can range from static templates to self-organization. As a result, we get a groupware classification based on structural abstractions. This classification supports groupware development. Additionally, one can identify more easily similarities between groupware and other fields with respect to the three structural dimensions.
