Activity Modelling and Object Technology for Cooperative Information Systems

It is commonly agreed that Cooperative Information Systems provide the backbone of the Integrated Information Infrastructure of the future. The complexity of constructing and maintaining such systems can only be mastered by understanding and exploiting fully the following two recent advances in computing: Application Models which are being developed for Cooperative and Organizational Activities, and Enabling Technology which is being re-engineered in terms of Persistent and Communicating Objects.
