Abstract
This paper describes TeamRooms, a Tel-based real time
groupware application that provides "network places" for
users to collaborate. TeamRooms is significantly more
complex than previous groupware applications, providing
not only generic tools such as shared whiteboards, but also
custom groupware applets running within an OpenDoc-style
embedded window. As well as describing TeamRooms
itself, the paper relates the use of several Tel programming
techniques - meta-architectures, multiple interpreters, and
embedded windows - that are used to manage the resulting
complexity of the system.
