Advancement in collaborative technologies simplifies the communication, interaction, and collaboration of distributed teams. Network-based applications and audio and video conferencing systems have been increasing adopted to enable geographically dispersed teams to work together. In this paper, we describe a network-based software system to imitate a co-located working environment for distributed work groups. Concurrent interactions are performed and their conflicts are resolved through a virtual collaborative workspace. We present an approach to optimize application-specific collaborations and improve performance and scalability for large distributed collaborative systems. The architecture and design of the system and its experiments are discussed.
