... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Coenen, F. P., Finch, I., Bench-Capon, Trevor J. M. and Shave, M. J. R. (1993): Autonomous Support for Group Working: The Aide de Camp Project. In: Alty, James L., Diaper, Dan and Guest, D. (eds.) Proceedings of the Eighth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VIII August 7-10, 1993, Loughborough University, UK. pp. 367-382.

Computer networking and the genre of software, collectively referred to as groupware, enabled by such networks have been with us for some time. The potential advantages to be gained cannot be overstated. There are also disadvantages associated with the technology. In particular the introduction of computer networking and groupware has significantly increased the work load of individual network users, especially those charged with the administration of the cooperative tasks that the software supports. In this paper we describe the Aide de Camp system. This is a decentralised communications management system that actively addresses the administration of cooperative tasks. This is achieved through the development of two key concepts, collaborative mail filtering and the use of autonomous agents to administer cooperative tasks. Both are described and the advantages gained illustrated through the use of a number of examples taken from applications currently under investigation.
