A Classification of Design Patterns to Support Mobile Groupware Systems

Groupware represents a great tool for people group-work since they have multiple possibilities oriented to improve interaction, collaboration, and communication between group members. Virtues of groupware are currently reinforced through several alternatives such as mobile devices; however, it introduces a series of new challenges in user interface design for emerging mobile groupware applications. In order to contribute to reduce this gap, we propose a design pattern classification to help model those specific interactions to foster essential groupware functions of communication, coordination and collaboration through a well-designed interface.
