Abstract
A collaborative work support system that is performed on plural computers each of which is assigned for an operator, and supports collaborative work in which the plural computers display common data and each operator operates the displayed common data through his own computer. The collaborative work support system includes: a shared data storage for storing shared data to be displayed on each computer; an individual data storage for storing individual data, which is individually created by a specific operator and individually displayed on any of the computers; an individual data sender for sending the individual data to other computers in response to a command from the specific operator who created the individual data so as to display the individual data on other computers as created shared data; and a manager for managing so that the individual data is stored in the shared data storage with other data associated with the individual data as a unit of storage.
