Multi-device interactions for teamwork in ubiquitous, collaborative and distributed contexts
Article No.: 71, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
The present research reports on the extension of model-based UI engineering to support (design and run-time) multi-device synchronous collaborative interactions. We detail the new models devised and the tactics devoted to handling semantic, syntactic and lexical variation during synchronous collaborative team work. We showcase our current development effort using a case study of collaborative music theory lessons where novel design intentions, such as task-, group- and activity-awareness are compelling to facilitate the peers' co-engagement.
