This system using Speech Acts theory intends to help partners distributed in different locations to communicate and manage their work effectively. This paper intends, through the incorporation of the basic concepts of this former paradigm, to show how a Collaborative System can be improved to cope with the requirements of GIS Technology, so it can help partners to collaborate effectively. The distinguishing feature proposed in the context of the HIP2 project as the evolution of the CooMan System is a dynamic workflow approach to coordinate a GIS environment. This implementation is intended for people with high mobility and having meetings with people at different levels within a distributed organization. The resulting prototype relies on the Internet for communicating users and satisfies our design requeriments of being and remaining small in size.

Classification authorities provide classification schemes to classify objects. Object distribution is an independent process where objects circulate asynchronously among distribution agents. ODS is designed to perform specially well in an increasingly populated, widespread and complex Internet jungle, using weak consistency replication by object distribution, asynchronous replication, and local access to objects by clients. This paper relates with the study and implementation of an integrated large scale distributed system support for groupware development and operation. It is focused on the implementation of a generic platform providing flexible coordination mechanisms and integrated support for awareness-control and adaptative synchronicity.
