* Theme: Context-Aware Computing in CSCW
***
Context-aware computing has been at the centre of different
research efforts in the last decade. Acquiring, using, and sharing
context electronically creates a new potential for the way people
work together. Adding real world context to computer supported
cooperative work (CSCW) will enable a new quality of cooperation.
Applications in CSCW have been extended beyond the desktop to
different work settings and into the domain of mobile devices.
Context and context-awareness becomes a central issue in the design
and realization of many systems and a crucial factor for their
success.

The understanding of context in CSCW goes beyond the traditional
view of context-aware systems as discussed in HCI and mobile
computing. Sharing information about documents, activities,
artefacts in use, group processes, and real world events is central
to maximize mutual awareness in group work. This special issue on
"Context-Aware Computing in CSCW" seeks to present a collection of
original and high quality research in this area addressing these
challenges and reporting on findings and solutions.

This special issue will appear in an upcoming issue (2004) of
"Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) - The Journal of
Collaborative Computing - JCSCW"
(http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0925-9724) a well known scientific
journal published by Kluwer Academic Publishers (http://www.wkap.nl)
