Here's a summary of responses to my query on books, articles, and other
references related to groupware.  My thanks to all those who responded.
It's a short list, I'm afraid, as I didn't get too many responses.
Anyway, maybe you'd like to add to the list and I'll be only to happy to just
keep on compiling them (and I sure need them).


1.  I. Greif (Ed.), Computer Supported Cooperative Work: A Book of Readings
    Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, 1988.

    I've found this to be a most informative introduction to CSCW as it
    contains a lot of the classic papers on groupware (most notably,
    Doug Engelbart).

2.  Johansen, R., Groupware: Computer Support for Business Teams,
    The Free Press, 1988.

3.  There's a new journal called Organizational Computing to be launched
    at the conference in Austin, Texas on Feb 25-26.

4.  Since my specific interest really is groupware on top of OSI, 
    H. Lubich replied: 

> We're in the process of building a shared conferencing and editing system
> based on the OSI common application service elements ACSE and ROSE.
> We've defined a corresponding protocol in ASN.1 and have implemented a first
> prototype based on a simple server/client scheme using the ISODE stack.

> We've also published some papers about the work we've done so far:

> H. Lubich: MultimETH, a Collaborative Editing and Conferencing Project
> in: Computer Networks and ISDN Systems, Special Double Issue, First Joint 
> RARE/EARN Network Conference, 5/1990, Killarney

> H. Lubich: Model and Functionality Definition for the Collaborative Editing
> and Conferencing System MultimETH: Report Nr. 2 des Instituts fuer
> Technische Informatik und Kommunikationsnetze der ETH Zuerich, Juli 1990

> B. Plattner, H. Lubich: A Proposed Model and Functionality Definition for a
> Collaborative Editing and Conferencing System, in: "Proceedings of the IFIP
> WG8.4 International Working Conference on Multi-User Interfaces and
