Project Abstract

ICDT (Information Communication Distribution Transaction)

The ICDT Platform is a web-based virtual environment aimed at supporting distributed groups and communities.
The platform is the result of research and development efforts conducted at INSEAD’s Centre for Advanced Learning Technologies since 1994 in the domain of groupware design and collaborative, distributed learning.

Different versions of the ICDT Platform have been employed and are actively used to support a number of applications, including:
- Virtual Learning Communities and Knowledge Exchange
- Project and Document Management applications
- Service and Product Development and Distribution

In terms of functionality, the ICDT Platform integrates features aimed at providing efficient (realtime or asynchronous) information, communication, distribution and transaction channels used by the community of users (operating both as 'suppliers' and 'consumers' of knowledge).

The ICDT Platform is based on a conceptual framework develop to diagnose the efficiency and effectiveness of groupware-based, cooperative workspaces.
The ICDT Model induces a segmentation of the space of business opportunities created by the Internet into four "virtual spaces" :
- Virtual Information Space (VIS)
- Virtual Communication Space (VCS)
- Virtual Transaction Space (VDS)
- Virtual Distribution Space (VTS)
