Abstract

An apparatus (100) comprising a storage medium having stored therein a plurality of programming instructions and an execution unit is presented. The execution unit coupled to the storage medium executes the plurality of programming instructions to implement a hierarchy of collaboration services enabling collaboration between a client computer (102) and a collaboration partner (142), including a service to determine the system attributes of the client computer (102) and to select an appropriate collaboration service from, the hierarchy of collaboration services commensurate with the determined system attributes of the client computer (102) and enabling a collaboration session between the client computer (102) and the collaboration partner (142).
