The X@Work projects aims at supporting the new emerging organizational models based on processes and projects that requires the collaboration between knowledge workers with different background working in different companies geographically distributed.

X@Work wants to develop a technological platform based on the most recent ICT technologies enabling effective collaborative work in the aerospace industry.

Nevertheless, the platform is not designed as tied to a specific domain and to its specialized technologies thus allowing its use also in other environments requiring collaboration services.
