Abstract
The rapid developments in the field of distributed, internetworked systems, especially the World Wide Web (WWW), allow the design and implementation of rich environments including a wide variety of services and users. The capabilities of WWW however are quite weak to support the necessities of its demanding users, lacking in coordination capabilities, which instead would be useful to create a basic platform for groupware and cooperative information systems. We introduce the concept of PageSpace, a new kind of middleware support for the Web, which offers coordination capabilities to the WWW.
