Integrating internet technologies in designing a tailorable groupware architecture

In this article, we propose an approach to introduce tailorability in the design of groupware, as the approaches already existing are still ambiguous in putting it forward in CSCW systems. We will present a brief overview on some approaches that deals with tailorability in this field. Then, we will make use of concepts and notions from each in order to integrate them in an innovative, value-added and tailorable architecture. We will discuss the purpose of integrating Internet technologies with software agents while putting it forward in the context of tailorable groupware design.
