Abstract
A data processing system which defines a plurality of logical workspaces for performing tasks in response to operations performed by a system user and provides communication between two or more of the workspaces. When a user in a first workspace selects a screen object (`door`) corresponding to a second workspace, visual, audio and data communication are initiated between the first user and the second workspace according to predefined access privileges associated with the first user. Access privileges are typically predefined by the owner of the workspace.
