'''Workspace''' is understood here to be a [[collaborative]] enterprise conducted through inter-connections in which all the participants in dispersed locations can access and interact with each other just as inside a single [[entity]]. The environment may be supported by electronic [[communications]] and [[groupware]] which enable participants to overcome [[space]] and [[time]] differentials. These are typically enabled by a shared [[mind|mental]] [[model]], common information, and a shared [[understanding]] by all of the participants regardless of [[physical]] location.

[[Communication]] comes in two forms: [[synchronous]] and [[asynchronous]]. Asynchronous communication includes email, and shared file systems where information is based back and forth in a non-interative, sequential [[manner]]. The popularity of synchronous forms has developed over recent years with the increase in processing capabilities and the widespread availablilty of high speed [[internet]] providers. These include video and [[voice]] messaging services including shared whiteboard capabilities. Program [[sharing]] has also become available to allow remote users to share much more detailed information through CAD packages, spreadsheets, etc. and have access to these in real time.
