TeamSpace is a Web-based collaborative workspace system that supports
geographically distributed teams by managing shared work processes and
maintaining shared artifacts in a project. TeamSpace supports both
synchronous and asynchronous team activities. In this paper, we discuss
the distinguishing features we considered while designing TeamSpace. Since
meetings are an integral part of teamwork, our current work focuses on
supporting virtual meetings as part of a larger collaborative work
process. We present our initial prototype of the TeamSpace virtual
meeting environment. This Web-based system supports capture, integration,
and access of distributed meetings. We present a general-purpose meeting
viewer for browsing the captured information. The viewer enables users to
efficiently gain knowledge of both current and past team activities. We
also describe the architecture and implementation of the system.
