Collaborative systems need to provide some means for users to be aware of peer activities. Common approaches involve broadcasting events generated as a result of a particular user's actions at the interface to others. Rather than flooding users with information about all activities occurring in the shared environment, filtration techniques allow each user to be exposed to relevant awareness information. Such techniques are often based on user configurable agents. Unfortunately, these so far do not support satisfactorily the improvisational nature of collaborative activities. This is because user configuration is effective mainly in cases where interactions can be anticipated and where configuration plans can be drawn. It is also difficult for a configurable agent to capture the diversity and the complex interrelationships between collaborative activities. In highly dynamic collaborative environments, the need to synchronise configurations with rapidly evolving needs imposes a heavy task load on participants. In Moksha, our prototypical multi-user desktop, this problem is addressed by extending the desktop metaphor and automating the filtration control process so that it becomes ubiquitous to the user. The cross-client linkage of the desktop interface elements, the use of multi-media and its browsing techniques are the main components underlying our strategy.
