The document discusses Javaspace and its capabilities to enable distributed collaboration between application developers. Javaspace uses JavaSpaces, which allows programs running on different machines to connect and interact by placing data into a shared "tuple space". This allows developers to work together seamlessly without knowledge of each other's locations. The document also provides a hypothetical example scenario of two developers, Elliot and Ian, using a Javaspace-enabled virtual meeting space to remotely collaborate on a project from London and Hong Kong.
