Group communication is a very difficult task to be
implemented in distributed applications. Particularly,
work management systems are important in many
industries to support the coordination of distributed
groups of mobile workers with different levels of
availability. Traditional event-based systems using
point-to-point communication such as e-mail are not
well suited to coordinate a work group as the state of a
work item is not always clear and this mode of
communication creates many mistakes and massive
communication overhead because those tasks are
solved via a central server. In this paper, we analyze a
work process in a major insurance company, develop a
prototype providing solutions for the problems by
exploring the coordination features deployed in spacebased
computing and compare the current system with
the prototype.
