Abstract
This paper introduces a framework for awareness support in groupware systems. This framework, called Big Watch (BW), intends to support past event awareness. It has been designed to be used when developing new groupware applications and also to improve existent ones. This paper summarizes the characteristics and the structure of BW, and discusses two applications that use it.
