Abstract

Shared workspaces have emerged as one of the most successful applications of computer supported cooperative work (CSCW). Important aspects of shared workspaces are presence and awareness information, flexible sharing of work material, and support for communication among group members. One of the shortcomings of existing shared workspaces is their lack of support for mobility. In this paper we will discuss the need for mobile shared workspaces as well as an experimental platform for ubiquitous collaboration and a number of shared workspace implementations for both formal and informal collaboration.
