RoamWare: towards an integrated environment for PDA use and seamless ongoing interaction in mobile CSCW

Published: 31 March 2001 Publication History

Abstract

This paper reports the final step of a research project that has aimed at developing novel in between meeting support for mobile CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work). The underlying idea was to integrate spontaneous meetings with in between meeting support and split the use between different situations rather than users attention. We propose a novel system called RoamWare that illustrates the concept of split use and invisible computer support. We then report on some initial use results and relate it to other research attempts near us before concluding the paper.
