Abstract

Patterns, repeatable processes for recurring high-value tasks, have great potential for assisting computer-mediated collaboration. In this paper we focus on patterns for collaborative work as a means to capture best practices about recurring collaborative problems and solutions amongst dispersed groups. We present a comparative review of relevant research and commercial efforts related to patterns that can be used to facilitate collaboration.
