Abstract :
This paper presents a pioneer work on using heterogeneous collaborative groupware to monitor wireless sensor networks. The prototype implementation illustrates that wireless sensor networks can be integrated into a larger scale, heterogeneous, collaborative groupware to enable complicated and/or geographically unbounded applications that require inputs from sensors, intelligent agents, and human participants.
