A proposal of novel information architecture-open cooperative work space

We propose a novel information integration architecture for a man-machine interface and a new CSCW system called open cooperative work space (OCoWS) for its implementation. The architecture gives system users the advantage of a cooperative work space, in the style of an ordinary meeting by means of human sensing techniques as the system input interface and the integration of their results in several levels. As a result, users can dedicate themselves to mutual understanding among meeting members with no awareness of direction to the CSCW system
