“…However, these approaches do not consider mobility, and the relationship between collaboration and mobility is not well understood [16]. Our previous work [12,17] proposed a modeling language that specifically tackles collaborative and mobile issues, but not particularly in HWSN. Therefore, these modeling proposals can only partially address the design needs that come from crowd computing scenarios.…”

The recent growth of social networking and sensing applications has enabled people to perform crowd computing. In turn, this activity has opened several opportunities to address people's needs in various application areas, such as tourism, security, entertainment and emergency response. However, the design of these applications has also brought several challenges to software designers. Since users of these systems interact among them in heterogeneous physical scenarios, their interactions should be formally considered in the design of these applications in order to determine whether or not the services embedded in the system are suitable to support those interactions. The lack of guidelines to address this modeling issue not only jeopardizes the suitability of these applications, but also implies the services provided by the system can be evaluated only after implementation, which is clearly risky and expensive. This article proposes an initial modeling language that allows software designers to address this challenge through the representation of the interaction among users of a system. The interaction model represented using the proposed language allows designers to evaluate, at the design time, the information flow and the availability of interaction supporting services in the system. The usability and usefulness of the proposal are shown using a running example.

“…A video image may even reinforce the affective experience in communication between geographically separated instructors and operators [11]. To model the complexity in mobile groupware systems, a graphical language describing loosely coupled work patterns has been suggested [5]. In the educational field, researchers have proposed solutions for collaborative learning outside the classroom [16].…”

Figure 1: Remote support for car drivers is typically offered as audio instructions only (left). This paper presents a mobile solutionincluding a sketch-and gesture-video-overlay (right). ABSTRACTUneven knowledge distribution is often an issue in remote support systems, creating the occasional need for additional information layers that extend beyond plain videoconference and shared workspaces. This paper introduces SEMarbeta, a remote support system designed for car drivers in need of help from an officebound professional expert. We introduce a design concept and its technical implementation using low-cost hardware and techniques inspired by augmented reality research. In this setup, the driver uses a portable Android tablet PC while the expert mechanic uses a stationary computer equipped with a video camera capturing his gestures and sketches. Hence, verbal instructions can be combined with supportive gestures and sketches added by the expert mechanic to the car's video display. To validate this concept, we carried out a user study involving two typical automotive repair tasks: checking engine oil and examining fuses. Based on these tasks and following a between-group (drivers and expert mechanics) design, we compared voice-only with additional sketch-and gesture-overlay on video screenshots measuring objective and perceived quality of help. Results indicate that sketch-and gesture-overlay can benefit remote car support in typical breakdown situations.
