| Abstract | The World Wide Web (WWW) provides a simple and effective means for users to
browse, search and retrieve information, as well as to make information of their own available
for others. However, it does not provide support for more collaborative information sharing,
where widely-dispersed working-groups can jointly author, comment, annotate, negotiate and
develop form and content of the information as part of a group, rather than an individual,
activity.
Electronic Meeting System (EMS), a new form of meeting has been developed by
using information technology in order to make a group working more productive. A new area
of development of EMS tools is to port EMS application to be available for use over the
WWW called Web-based EMS. It combines the benefits of EMS applications with the
advantage of ready access to anyone with the Internet or intranet access via a web browser.
The developed prototype system can support a working group by providing a tool in
order to have an effective and efficient meeting. The system acts as a virtual meeting room
which can help the user to go beyond the problem of time and resource conflict. |
