Abstract.
TeamRooms is a groupware environment based on the metaphor of shared virtual rooms. The system contains user-defined rooms, each with a shared whiteboard, chat tool and customizable groupware applets. The system also supports a number of features to help maintain awareness, as well as a rich persistence mechanism that can act as a group memory.

Keywords: Groupware, CSCW, shared electronic spaces.
