Eclipse is an open integrated environment for software development, rapidly emerging as the de facto standard for developing java applications. Also, it is easily extensible since new functions for the environment can be added through the installation of various plug-in modules. WebDAV is an IETF standard protocol, which is an extended version of HTTP 1.1, supporting asynchronous collaborative authoring of various contents on the web. In this paper, we describe the development of the DAVSpace plug-in which enables programmers to use remote workspaces offered by WebDAV servers as project workspaces for software development in Eclipse. Based on the WebDAV protocol, DAVSpace supports the management of resources on the remote workspaces associated with projects in Eclipse. Using DAVSpace, we can create a project in Eclipse on a designated remote workspace in addition to the default local workspace. Whenever an event for storing a resource is generated, DAVSpace stores the resource into both workspaces. Thanks to DAVSpace, developers can effectively proceed their projects regardless of where they are located.

Unstructured workspaces which are typical in construction contain unpredicable activities as well as changing environments. Most automated and semi-automated construction tasks require real-time information about the local workspace in the form of 3D geometric models. This paper describes and demonstrates a new rapid, local area geometric data extraction and 3D visualization method for unstructured construction workspaces that combines human perception, simple sensors, and descriptive CAD models. The rapid approach will be useful in construction in construction in order to optimize automated equipment tasks and to significantly improve safety and a remote operator's spatial perception of the workspace.

To support asynchronous collaboration among remote users, collaborative applications provide collaboration services and environment through virtual workspaces. In general, collaborative applications support collaboration based on desktop-based personal computers, using the features such as resource sharing or asynchronous communication among users. Unfortunately, since those applications mainly run on personal computers, they do not easily support collaborative works in various places. In this paper, we describe the development of smartphone collaborative application which provides effective collaboration facilities like resource sharing through various types of workspaces or group communication, communicating with a WebDAV-based collaboration server. The developed application provides users with high accessibility through multi-touch/touch-slide based user-interfaces in mobile environment. To support effective communication with a collaboration server, we also present a WebDAV-based collaboration library using a collaboration protocol designed to analyze easily the responses from the collaboration server.

CoSlide is a collaborative system, extending the Jakarta Slide WebDAV server. The CoSlide server provides group workspaces for collaborators. CoSpace is a client which supports various collaborative authoring activities on the CoSlide server through the WebDAV protocol. CoSpace provides graphic user interfaces to support effective interaction among the collaborators, managing the shared resources for them. However, during collaboration, simultaneous modifications on the content of shared resources might cause conflicts among the content of the revisions made by the collaborators, leading to serious problems on project progress. In this paper, we describe an extension of the CoSpace client to solve the problem. The extended CoSpace client supports the remote version management facility through which the collaborators can manage the versions of the associated server resources in the distance. Also, to identify the changes of the text files such as program source codes, the extended client provides the facility for comparing two versions and displaying the differences in a visual manner. In addition, it provides the version management of a whole workspace and the removal of all the unnecessary versions of the designated resources.

이클립스는 오픈 소스 프로젝트로 개발된 세계에서 가장 널리 사용되는 자바 통합 개발 환경 중의 하나이다. 이러한 이클립스의 모든 기능은 플러그인을 통해 제공된다. 플러그인은 이클립스 플랫폼이 제공하는 서비스를 이용하거나 다른 플러그인과 연동되거나 통합되어 사용된다. 이클립스 플랫폼에서 원격 작업 공간을 이용하여 프로젝트를 관리할 수 있는 플러그인이 개발된다면 효율적으로 프로젝트를 개발할 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 웹데브 프로토콜을 이용하여 프로젝트를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 AutoWebDAV 이클립스 플러그인의 개발에 대하여 기술한다. AutoWebDAV 플러그인은 웹상에서 협업을 지원하기 위한 표준 프로토콜인 웹데브 프로토콜을 이용하여 프로젝트 개발 시 로컬 작업 공간만이 아닌 웹상에 원격 작업 공간을 두어, 어디서나 프로젝트를 가져와서 사용하고 개발할 수 있도록 지원하여준다. 현재까지는 프로젝트를 원격 저장소에 저장하기 위해서는 여러 가지 번거로운 절차를 거쳐야 하였지만 AutoWebDAV 플러그인을 이용할 경우 서버설정 후 간단한 버튼 조작으로 원격 서버에 프로젝트 구성요소들을 저장할 수 있도록 하였다.

A computer supported collaborative system provides with a shared virtual workspace over the Internet where its remote users cooperate in order to achieve their goals by overcoming problems caused by distance and time. VRMMS (Virtual Reality Molecular Modeling System) [1] is a VR based collaborative system where biologists can remotely participate in and exercise molecular modeling tasks such as viewing three dimensional structures of molecular models, confirming results of molecular simulations and providing with feedbacks for the next simulations. Biologists can utilize VRMMS in executing molecular simulations. However, first-time users and beginners need to spend some time for studying and practicing in order to skillfully manipulate molecular models and the system. The best way to resolve the problem is to have a face-to-face session of teaching and learning VRMMS. However, it is not practically recommended in the sense that the users are remotely located. It follows that the learning time could last longer than desired. In this paper, we propose to use Second Life [2] combining with VRMMS for removing the problem. It can be used in building a shared workplace over the Internet where molecular simulations using VRMMS can be exercised, taught, learned and practiced. Through the web, users can collaborate with each other using VRMMS. Their avatars and tools of molecular simulations can be remotely utilized in order to provide with senses of 'being there' to the remote users. The users can discuss, teach and learn over the Internet. The shared workspaces for discussion and education are designed and implemented in Second Life. Since the activities in Second Life and VRMMS are designed to realistic, the system is expected to help users in improving their learning and experimental performances.

Collaboration has become essential in the product design process due to internationalized and specialized business environments. This study presents a real-time collaborative 3D design workspace for distributed designers, focusing on the development and the evaluation of new interaction techniques supporting nonverbal communication such as awareness of participants, shared manipulation and tele-presence. Requirements were identified in terms of shared objects, shared workspaces and awareness through literature reviews and an observational study. An Augmented Reality based collaborative design workspace was developed, in which two main interaction techniques, Turn-table and Virtual Shadow, were incorporated to support shared manipulation and tele-presence. Turn-table provides intuitive shared manipulation of 3D models and physical cues for awareness of remote participants. Virtual shadow supports natural and continuous awareness of location, gestures and pointing of partners. A lab-based evaluation was conducted and the results showed that interaction techniques effectively supported awareness of general pointing and facilitated discussion in 3D model reviews. The workspace and the interaction techniques can facilitate more natural communication and increase the efficiency of collaboration on virtual 3D models between distributed participants (designer-designer, engineer, or modeler) in collaborative design environments.
