Abstract
Groupware and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) systems are usually considered collaborative, but some kinds of group activity can actually be competitive. The author examines the differences between systems with one role and with several roles and how this potential conflict between the different roles arises. Design rules are provided to reduce the problems of this conflict. These rules are illustrated by an example of a large collaborative system involving many different roles
