Collaborating groups are dynamic affairs in which patterns of activity, working styles, levels of interaction, information structures and other elements emerge dynamically in response to the circumstances and settings in which work is carried out. In contrast, the technologies that we offer to support collaboration are static and rigid. Conventional software architectures support only limited degrees of adaptation and dynamic response. Combining analysis, design, and evaluation, this research investigates metalevel architectures, an alternative approach supporting radically dynamic application response. If successful, this will yield both applications and application platforms which provide much more seamless support for collaboration than is currently possible. It also forges new connections between the two major areas of CSCW research, social analysis and technical design. The complex relationship between these two areas of interest is a major challenge to research and teaching. This research further supports the training of a new generation of CSCW researchers who are not just familiar with both halves of the puzzle, but have the skills to put them together.

协作小组是动态的事务，其中活动模式、工作风格、互动水平、信息结构和其他要素根据开展工作的环境和设置动态地出现。相比之下，我们提供的支持协作的技术是静态和僵化的。传统的软件体系结构只支持有限程度的适应和动态响应。结合分析，设计和评估，本研究探讨元级架构，一种替代方法，支持从根本上动态的应用程序响应。如果成功，这将产生应用程序和应用程序平台，为协作提供比目前可能的更多的无缝支持。它还锻造了CSCW研究的两个主要领域，社会分析和技术设计之间的新联系。这两个感兴趣的领域之间的复杂关系是研究和教学的主要挑战。这项研究进一步支持了新一代CSCW研究人员的培训，他们不仅熟悉这两个难题，而且有能力将它们放在一起。
