  text: CSCW systems like BSCW (Basic Support for Cooperative Work), HyperNews, and
    Lotus Notes have been successfully introduced to support the cooperation of geographically
    distributed work groups. Unfortunately, some of these software systems are not
    flexible enough to be customized easily to the requirements of an individual user.
    Most of the environments can only be configured by experts through complex programming.
    In this article we introduce VIP space, a shared workspace space in the sense
    of exchanging and processing shared objects between members of distributed work
    groups. VIP space can be easily adapted to the user's individual views and needs
    by means of a visual programming language. In VIP space, objects of the shared
    workspace are moved by drag and drop between task fields. Task fields are programmed
    by visual "if-then" rules applying a combination of icon- and form-based techniques.
    When a document represented by an icon is dropped on a task field its rules are
    checked and actions of the selected rules are excited. VIP space is finally demonstrated
    in an Internet course application.
