  text: With the wide availability of network supporting hard-and software cooperative
    computer-based environments became extremely popular. A wide range of CSCW (Computer
    Supported Cooperative Work) tools with video conferencing, electronic mail, shared
    whiteboards, discussion forums, and shared information systems are already part
    of daily business. In contrast to the unstructured linear stream of information
    in electronic mails shared workspaces provide structured administration of electronic
    information like documents, voice, pictures, and movies. Popular examples of shared
    workspaces are BSCW (Basic Support for Cooperative Work), Hypernews, Lotus Notes,
    Alta Vista Forum, Lifelink, Microsoft Exchange and Webshare. Currently, all these
    systems are not flexible enough to get easily customized to the requirements of
    the individual application and user only supporting a limited set of predefined
    different views and functionality. This article introduces VIPspace (Visually
    Programmable Workspace). VIPspace can be easily customized to the individual needs
    of an user through VIPrule, a combination of a form- and icon-based visual programming
    language. VIPrule is based on an easy-to-use drag and drop paradigm. Direct manipulation
    via drag and drop allows easy access to local file systems as well as manipulation,
    exchange, and publication of shared multimedia documents. As VIPspace is implemented
    in Java it nicely integrates with other web-applications and provides a platform
    independent environment with a uniform graphical user interface.
