Context-adaptive interaction for collaborative work.

Context plays an increasingly important role to adapt systems to users' needs and to make access to large information spaces more efficient. Yet, in the area of collaborative work the potential of context-based adaptation of IT systems has so far not been investigated and exploited. There is a lack of methods that take into account the manifold aspects of context such as physical, activity-based, thematic or social context in an integrated fashion. This workshop will discuss models, methods and system design approaches for context-adaptive collaboration support and will outline research directions leading towards comprehensive understanding of context.
