ICT Collaboration in the Coocom project




In the COOCOM project (Cooperation and Communication in the Building Process), 1993, industry participants (SKANSKA, FFNS Architects, and LKF facility managers) performed local and distributed ICT supported collaboration (local joint document editing, remote screen sharing using ISDN connection with support group at SKANSKA, and structured discussions). Walk-throughs of the design object were also available using the Virtus Walk-through system. (Modin, 1995)
