Figure 1 shows the five phases of the project which included workshops, technology awareness seminars, and home-base assignments.

Ten events, including seven workshops, were conducted throughout the Internet Services Testbed Project. Each workshop focused on a major component of the development process. The workshops reflected the collaborative and cross-organizational nature of Web-based work. Electronic communication among project participants and access to the Web itself was provided by CTG through Internet access accounts with the Capital Region Information Service of New York (CRISNY). Digital Equipment Corporation provided group collaboration software that all participants could use to share ideas, questions, and discoveries.

Table 1 presents the variety of resources provided by public and private sector partners in support of the Internet Services Testbed Project. CTG coordinated the workshops, provided presentations and exercises in the workshops, and developed the practical tools with the assistance of the project agencies.
