	Disconnection Handling in Real-time Groupware Real-time Groupware A real-time or synchronous groupware is a software application that allows communication and collaboration among geographically-distributed work group members in order to perform some common tasks.
	Targeting Assistance for Distant Pointing at Interactive Surfaces Pointing at displays from a distance is becoming a common scenario for controlling computers, entertainment systems, and video games.
	Groupware Toolkit for C# The GT library is a groupware toolkit with two goals: to simplify the development of real-time distributed groupware, and to improve the performance of distributed applications.
	Learning The Land: Improving map-based interactions When people consult maps together, they use gestures as a component of their interactions. However, when collaborators are remote to each other or communicating asynchronously, the gesture information can be lost.
	Procedural Audio Awareness through GTBlackboard Audio feedback for groupware awareness has been under-examined, and in particular procedural audio has remarkable potential to provide users with information.
