“…In extending such model to real time operations we've adopted a phenomenological perspective on context of action characterization, traditionally used in social sciences, which regards contexts as relational entities relating all involved actions and objects, and evolving dynamically as actions unfold [3]. Such approach is consistent with the studies of naturalistic decision making which reveals that under extreme conditions, the decision process is deeply influenced by situation context and experience of involved actors [13].…”

Mobile computing has experienced a rapid growth and there are nowadays many applications being developed. According to the literature, many of these applications are designed for collaborative work or learning and share the same requirements: they implement a peer-to-peer communication architecture, there are subgroups inside the group of participants which have to work together and coordinate with the rest ofthe groups and they need to implement a proper human-computer interaction paradigm since they have a reduced area to interact with the application's interface. It is then quite natural to think about the development of a framework supporting this kind of applications. In this paper we present such a framework and an example ofits application.

“…We have used the framework for CSCL/CSCW system awareness proposed in [4] as starting point. This framework classifies the contextual information into five main categories: (1) people and groups, (2) scheduled tasks, (3) the relationship between people and tasks, (4) the environment where the interactions take place and (5) the tasks and activities that have been completed.…”

Abstract-We propose an approach for predicting group formations, to address the problem of automating the incorporation of group awareness into CSCL applications. Contextual information can enable the construction of applications that effectively assist the group members to automatically communicate in synchronous and collocated collaborative learning activities. We used data traces collected from the study of students' behavior to train and test an intelligent system. Results have shown that context-information can be effectively used as a basis for a middleware for a dynamic group management. Inferring group membership is technically viable and can be used in real world settings.

“…We also adopted the phenomenological perspective of contexts of action, traditionally used in social sciences, which regards SA as evolving dynamically as actions unfold [22]. From an organizational perspective, this means that situated decision making models such as the garbage can [23] are more applicable to our context than traditional rational choice models [24].…”

Abstract. Existing information systems often lack support to crisis and emergency situations. In such scenarios, the involved actors often engage in ad hoc collaborations necessary to understand and respond to the emerging events. We propose a collaboration model and a prototype aiming to improve the consistency and effectiveness of emergent work activities. Our approach defends the requirement to construct shared situation awareness (SA). To support SA, we developed a collaborative artifact named situation matrixes (SM), which relates different situation dimensions (SD) of the crisis/emergency scenario. A method was also developed to construct and evaluate concrete SM and SD. This method was applied in two organizations' IT service desk teams, which often have to deal with emergency situations. The target organizations found our approach very relevant in organizing their response to emergencies.
