Identifying Interaction and Awareness Services in Mobile Collaborative Applications

The interaction and awareness services play a key role on the impact that mobile collaborative systems have on their application domains. Identifying these services at early design stages is not only challenging, but also mandatory to determine the feasibility and scope of the system to be developed. Based on a literature review, this paper presents a set of interaction and awareness services that helps designers determine what services to embed into mobile applications, depending on interaction needs that must be addressed.
