In this paper we present major results of a detailed study about the functionalities that are present in different collaborative systems, realized as collaborative components. We have used this study to establish a methodology for the automatic generation of collaborative applications supporting group needs. The methodology is directed to any community of end users, who do not need to have any programming skills.

REUSES: Questionnaire-driven design for the automatic generation of Web-based Collaborative Applications

“…Based on them, and after our detailed study of 79 collaborative applications, we generated our own classification of collaborative applications and their collaborative features. Moreover, we built another classification where we took into account collaborative applications types and their collaborative features [12].…”

“…Hence, we have applied the Pearson Correlation among the BMs of all the studied collaborative applications, between each two components c 1 and c 2 , as shown in (10), where A is given by (11), and B(c) is as in (12).…”

“…Based on them, and after our detailed study of 79 collaborative applications, we generated our own classification of collaborative applications and their collaborative features. Moreover, we built another classification where we took into account collaborative applications types and their collaborative features [12].This previous study was used to propose our Questionnairedriven Methodology for automatic generation of Web collaborative applications. The methodology first characterizes individual user preferences, and then builds a consensus using the preferences of the whole community.…”
