Abstract

This paper reports from a project, called NewsPilot, where we explore how context aware computing can be used to support mobile collaborators. An empirical study of journalists at a local radio station in Sweden has informed the design of a prototype system. The system is built using a personal digital assistant (PDA) fitted with a radio transceiver and filters information based on the users physical location in relation to geographic places and other users.
