Abstract:
As we approach the end of the twentieth century, information is a critical force shaping the
world's economic system. Fundamental changes in each sector are expected and they will be
the result of technological convergence of the previously distinct telecommunications,
information, and mass media industries. Networks will form the basis of evolving national
and global information infrastructures, in turn creating a seamless web uniting the world in
the emergent Information Age. The result will be a new information marketplace, providing
opportunities and challenges for individuals, industry, and governments.
The Collaborative and Co-operative Electronic Calendar (CCEC) is an application which
allows users to share events and opinions inside a group and a community of users through a
web site linked to a database. This notion is interesting because entering in a new way to
share information, firstly in the time/space matrix, with the use of modern support as Internet
and remote devices, and secondly in the user’s hierarchy. This report presents all the areas
studied during the investigation for the honours project, and it also contains techniques and
future orientations that the project will take.
