Abstract :
Communityware is for more diverse and amorphous groups of people. Compared to current groupware studies, communityware focuses on an earlier stage of collaboration: group formation from a wide variety of people. We have been working on real scale experiments on communityware for more than 8 years. This paper summarizes our experiences on real scale experiments on communityware: the Mobile Assistant Project, Digital City Kyoto, and the Intercultural Collaboration Experiment.
