Abstract

Distributed Groupware applications must be designed to cope with an increasingly diverse set of operational conditions. The available network bandwidth and latency, the network connectivity, the number of users, the type of devices, the system load, are, among others, examples of parameters that may change at run-time. This paper proposes an adaptive layer which uses monitoring and filtering techniques to adapt to changes in the communication environment/current context. The Nomad system is used as a case study for this concept.
