Abstract
Related to the cooperative editing research domain and to the works currently developed on the World Wide Web, we present AllianceWeb, an editing and cooperative authoring system on the Web. Using this system, authors distributed among the world can cooperate producing large documentations in a consistent and concerted way. Taking benefits of the design and experiment of the Alliance cooperative editor on Internet, the AllianceWeb approach proposes a mixed architecture (hybrid and/or fully distributed) for the document storage and access. These two architectures are integrated to provide a concerted, secure and parameterizable cooperative editing support.
Following that, we highlight the main aspects of the group awareness function which allows each author to diffuse his contribution to other co-authors, and to control the way by which other contributions are integrated in his environment. In order to support this function, fundamental for every groupware application, techniques of Artificial Intelligence research domain allow to design and to define a self-adaptive cooperative interaction environment, parametrized by user preferences. Thus, the problem and the characteristics of a group awareness inference engine are defined.
