Supporting Collaboration in a Context-Aware Office Computing Environment

Position Paper: Introduction Excerpt

Our research seeks to design an office that better supports knowledge workers-business professionals who interpret and transform information. Successful knowledge workers manage multiple tasks, collaborate effectively among several col-leagues and clients, and manipulate information that is most relevant to their current task by leveraging the spatial organization of their work area. The diversity of these work practices and the complexity of implementing flexible computing tools make it difficult to meet all the workers’ needs.
