Abstract
Collaborative teamwork is an uprising technology of this decade. With projects spreading around the world, joining partners from distant regions, the idea of distributed teamwork gains importance. While most industrial solutions only focus on a specific set of tools to enhance the communication, an effective teamwork requires the establishment of a real work context. However, the real work environments are lacking influence on the virtual environments. We will show how this can be solved, using an agent-oriented collaboration platform.
