Abstract: Collaborative and non-collaborative work spaces can each be defined by a workspace definition that includes a workspace identifier referring to a workspace where an application container having a user interface can instantiate the workspace based on the workspace definition, and a collection of application identifiers each referring to an application provider for an application. Each application can be configured to execute in the application container for the instantiated workspace, and each application can have a visual representation in the user interface. The workspace definition can also include one or more participants, where each participant refers to one or more workspace participants.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes, among other things, systems, methods and program products for collaborative and non-collaborative work spaces, each of which can be defined by a workspace definition that includes a workspace identifier referring to a workspace where an application container having a user interface can instantiate the workspace based on the workspace definition, and a collection of application identifiers each referring to an application provider for an application. Each application can be configured to execute in the application container for the instantiated workspace, and each application can have a visual representation in the user interface. The workspace definition can also include one or more participants, where each participant refers to one or more workspace participants.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: receiving a command from a first workspace participant to create a new workspace and creating a workspace identifier for the workspace, where an application container having a user interface can instantiate the workspace; receiving one or more applications to execute in the workspace and creating an application identifier for each application that refers to an application provider for the application, and where each application is configured to execute in the application container and where each executing application has a visual representation in the user interface. A command to publish the workspace as a shared workspace is received. A command is received from a second workspace participant to join the shared workspace. A workspace definition is stored. Commands are received to create and store a private view of the shared workspace. A command is received to add a customization to the private view of the shared workspace.

Abstract: In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification includes a workspace definition which includes a workspace identifier referring to a workspace where an application container having a user interface can instantiate the workspace based on the workspace definition; a plurality of application identifiers each referring to an application provider for an application, and where each application is configured to execute in the application container for the instantiated workspace and where each application has a visual representation in the user interface; and a one or more participants where each participant refers to one or more workspace participants.
