In this paper we describe an object manager, that has been developed for simplifying groupware development. The object manager offers a variety of services for controlling an application's shared data, including flexible object distribution, flexible coupling of user interface and shared data, latecomer support and configurable concurrency control. After a brief description of the object manager in total, we focus on a configurable concurrency control scheme. An example and directions for future work conclude the paper.
