Abstract

Nowadays, many teams collaborate via shared workspace environments, which offer a suite of services supporting group interaction. The needs for an effective group interaction vary over time and are dependent of the current problem and group goal. An ideal shared workspace environment has to take this into account and offer means for tailoring its services to meet the current needs of the collaborating team. In this article, we propose a serviceoriented architecture of shared workspaces, analyze this architecture to identify adaptation possibilities, introduce the Context and Adaptation Framework as a means to extend shared workspace environment for context-based adaptations and validate our approach by reporting on our prototype implementation.
