“…al., 1995) and SWIFT (System Workbench for Integrating and Facilitating Teams) (Lu, et al, 1993). Both ACE and SWIFT are functionally similar in that they provide a frame system with multiple inheritance, aggregation and support for run-time introspection (i.e., determine information about parents or children, slots or attributes, methods, and their properties for various classes defined using the frame system) and dynamic schema evolution.…”

This paper describes the Virtual Workspace System (VWS) which provides a service for sharing state (both data and meta-data or schema) for asynchronous collaborating engineering applications. Key features are:(1) a reliable and platform independent message transport mechanism between client workspaces; (2) an ontological formalism for describing the content of collaborating workspaces, based on the object-oriented model and extending it with notion of constraints; (3) selective sharing based on interest; (4) ability to group events together into transactions; (5) support for conflict detectionhesolution support; and, (6) collaboration policies that can be set at the object level (e.g., a user can be notified of changes to object of class C1 immediately, but not so for objects of class C2). The VWS system is being used to develop a collaborative application to support both design of facilities and maintenance management at the U.S. Army's Fort Gordon.
