Whiteboarding is the placement of shared files on an on-screen shared notebook or whiteboard.

Videoconferencing and data conferencing software often lets the user the shared documents as on a physical whiteboard.

A whiteboard (also known by the terms markerboard, dry-erase board, wipe board, dry-wipe board, pen-board, and the misnomer greaseboard) is any glossy, usually white surface for nonpermanent markings.

Whiteboards are analogous to blackboards, but with a smoother surface allowing rapid marking and erasing of markings on their surface.

The popularity of whiteboards increased rapidly in the mid-1990s and they have become a fixture in many offices, meeting rooms, school classrooms, and other work environments.

Collaboration is the process of two or more people or organizations working together to realize or achieve something successfully.

Collaboration is very similar to, but more closely aligned than, cooperation.

Most collaboration requires leadership, although the form of leadership can be social within a decentralized and egalitarian group.

Teams that work collaboratively can obtain greater resources, recognition and reward when facing competition for finite resources.

Scalability is the capability of a system, network, or process to handle a growing amount of work, or its potential to be enlarged in order to accommodate that growth.

For example, it can refer to the capability of a system to increase its total output under an increased load when resources (typically hardware) are added.

An analogous meaning is implied when the word is used in an economic context, where scalability of a company implies that the underlying business model offers the potential for economic growth within the company.

Distributed computing is a field of computer science that studies distributed systems.

A distributed system is a model in which components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages.

The components interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal.

Three significant characteristics of distributed systems are: concurrency of components, lack of a global clock, and independent failure of components.

Examples of distributed systems vary from SOA-based systems to massively multiplayer online games to peer-to-peer applications.
