| Abstract: | As wireless smartphones accompany increasing numbers of users at all times the devices
offer themselves as the medium of choice for improvised synchronous collaboration
between two or more participants. However, the small size of smartphones—while necessary
for their ubiquity—seems to limit the complexity of collaborative tasks that can be
carried out. In order to explore—and push—those limits we investigate how smartphones
can support intellectual teamwork. Intellectual teamwork places high cognitive demands
on the participants and requires high-quality input and display facilities. In addition, the
work of the participants must be coordinated. We present some of the features a virtual
collaboration system must support in order to provide efficient and effective collaboration.
As a prototypical implementation we present the Wireless Internet Collaborative System
(WICS) which incorporates these features. |
