Abstract

This paper proposes a conceptual and technological framework for the improvement of the development processes and the quality of collaborative systems, starting from a previous study of the most notable lacks identified in the field of CSCW regarding implementation issues, and the analysis of all the inherent aspects of organizational contexts such as internal structures, resources management or workflow definitions.
