  • Abstract
    This work looks at computer supported cooperative work from a grid computing viewpoint. We point out the trend of network computing and outline its implications and new CSCW requirements. We discuss key pieces of grid technology that are relevant to collaboration, focusing on the Vega Grid research work conducted at Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. We also discuss an application example from China Railways.
