Abstract.
GroupLab Collabrary is a toolkit for rapidly prototyping multimedia groupware. It provides a straightforward API to managing and distributing multimedia information between groupware program instances. The Collabrary also has a culture of use, where a small generic set of useful groupware programming patterns has evolved over time. In this workshop I will describe the Collabrary, what it offers groupware developers, and how these features in turn drive requirements for network services for rich groupware.
Keywords: Groupware, multimedia, networks services, notification servers, prototyping toolkits.
