Building collaborative workshop of metasynthetic engineering based on virtual conferencing space

The Workshop of Metasynthetic Engineering is a human-computer system for analyzing the strategy and method of collectivity layout and implement of complex huge system. Virtual conferencing space (VCS) can provide the seamless virtual collaboration work environment including eye contacts and gaze awareness, which matches the need of user-level application environment of Workshop of Metasynthetic Engineering. Based on virtual conference space, we implement a collaborative environment, which supports group cooperation and integration seminar. In this paper, we introduce the conception of virtual conferencing space, discuss the model and implementation of VCS, and then introduce the solution of how to support CSCW in VCS-based Workshop of Metasynthetic Engineering.
