---------------------------------------------------- 
Following is a list of publications on groupware that the primary
researchers on our team, Bob Bostrom, Rick Watson, and David Van
Over, put out, followed by some of the dissertations recently
completed or in process that are part of the overall research
project.

We are in the process of putting together a shorter version of
a rather long document that describes our research effort.  As
soon as this shorter document is completed, I will mail it to you.
