Abstract

In order to respond to the increasing demand for collaboration technologies, several Collaborative Virtual Environments have been proposed. However, most of them work independently of other collaboration tools, providing collaboration only inside their own shared virtual world. This work proposes the definition of a collaborative integration environment implementing a general framework for the integration of different collaborative applications with a conventional CVE. This integration aims to allow the collaboration activity to take place in several contexts in a parallel and coordinated way.
