Supporting Collaboration and Distributed Cognition among Design Communities in Context-Aware Pervasive Computing Environments

Our research team has investigated “computing off the desktop” in two different directions: the design, development, and assessment of (1) large computational spaces allowing people to access, contribute, and interact with information to support collaborative work among people in shared physical locations; (2) socio-technical environments supported by personalized, portable devices and wireless communication supporting people as they move around in the world; and (3) smart physical objects communicating with computational environments, allowing for context-aware information delivery.
