Abstract :
The proliferation of personal and medium-sized computers, the widespread availability of data communication networks, and the need to support cooperative work among geographically dispersed individuals have motivated the recent development of distributed information-management environments (DIME). In this paper, we explore the functions and structure of DIMEs, describe the MOSAIC reference model for computer-supported collaborative work, and present an example of a prototype DIME designed to support collaborative decision making among individuals in distributed command-and-control environments.
