Paper Abstract:
|
In 2000 for the first time in Germany and may be world wide a virtual party convention was held completely on the Internet. An important result of this experiment was to demonstrate that virtual meetings can be an interesting complementary feature and even a substitute for regular meetings. There are a number of characteristics which are special for virtual meetings which are highlighted in the paper. Advantages and disadvantages will be discussed. |
