Computer Support Of Team Work On Mobile Devices

In this paper we present a general concept of a mobile access to a groupware. The central aspect is how to bridge the gap between Mobile Computing and Collaborative Software. Mobile devices have limited capabilities, and therefore only few user interactions are desired. Conversely, groupware requires numerous interactions in order to make virtual collaborative work effective. First, we examine existing approaches and define our specific goal. Then, we present background on our research on user requirements. Afterwards, the general aspects of a prototype we developed are shown, including exemplary examples. After having given information about the first evaluation results, we end with a short conclusion stating our future work.
