The SuperKOM computer conferencing system was designed to incorporate many ideas from older messaging and conference systems in a simple and general- purpose internal structure. This paper describes the design goals, and then describes how the internal structure of SuperKOM was designed to meet these goals. In particular, SuperKOM provides a distributed, highly structured conference system and integrates electronic mail, computer conferencing and text data bases in one system.
