CoAKTinG Introduction
CoAKTinG (Collaborative Advanced Knowledge Technologies in the Grid)
is a project that will start in June 2002 and run for 24 months. It
is funded by the UK e-Science Programme.
An introductory paper on CoAKTinG submitted accepted for presentation at
WACE-2002 is available:

The Objective is to advance the state of the art in collaborative
mediated spaces for distributed e-Science collaboration through the
novel application of advanced knowledge technologies such as:
- Ontologies to enhance multi-modal and multi-media time phased
group discussions and problem solving
- Knowledge-based planning and task support to enhance issue-based
process/activity discussions
- Scholarly discourse and argumentation to enhance collaborative
meeting structures
- Presence and visualisation to enhance group peripheral awareness
at a distance
