There are three major
categories of collaboration software:
System
to person collaboration S2P software is
programmed with knowledge
about specific tasks, and programmed with specific ways of working with
people
to carry out those tasks. Here's how it can work. I have spent over six
years developing a
knowledge-based system which can collaborate with industrial designers
to
created designs according to corporate standards
Person
to person collaboration
P2P tools are programmed to help people communicate
and work together effectively over a network. This includes
group
management software and Web 2.0 interactive tools.
System
to system collaboration
Emerging S2S tools are software agents, each of
which has their own goal, but working together they can accomplish a
larger
goal.
