Groupware:

Groupware systems constitute network software environments in
which users can simultaneously collaborate on processing tasks. 
These systems facilitate not only the exchange of information,
but also the joint manipulation and annotation of information
nodes.  These software environments will permit interactive
electronic dialogue between professional colleagues, with locally
implemented changes to nodal information content depicted
instantaneously throughout the project network (Winograd, 1988). 
The ISDN protocol permits participants in groupware networks to
literally be located around the world, and yet participating in a
real time collaborative effort.
