Research Abstract	Recent improvement of ubiquitous network technologies promotes research and development of new real-time distributed groupware. Our next-generation society based on ubiquitous network technologies requires not only sharing human knowledge but also promoting the emergence of new knowledge. This research project focused on "awareness" as fundamental knowledge of the real world. The project developed groupware technologies to encourage people to be aware of the world, and verified the effectiveness of our groupware technologies though verification experiments.
