Abstract :
We live in a world of rapid change. Nowhere has this been more evident over the past years than in Sarajevo. Sarajevo, at the heart of Bosnia-Herzegovina, has experienced war and disruption of unprecedented proportions, as witnessed nightly on media world-wide. Sarajevo is now in a rebuilding process using technology to stabilize peace internally and link to the rest of the world. This paper describes how group support systems are being used in Sarajevo at various levels of government, business and education for a wide variety of tasks and activities. Lessons learned to date and a look into the future are presented
