Uma Ferramenta Web de Apoio à Coordenação de Projetos em um Ambiente Colaborativo

Coordination activities of a group, which is involved in simultaneous or sequential project activities, need tool support aimed to continually evaluate both the participation and contribution rates. These coordination actions happen - at the same time - throughout different project phases (beginning, planning, execution, control and closing). In these phases, participations and contributions rates can be generated by the use of different groupware applications. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the coordinator to identify these rates and assign them to each group member. The goal of this paper is to present a rule-based tool aimed at supporting the coordination of projects which are developed in a collaborative environment. This tool is part of WGPMS (Web-based groupware on project management support system) project.
