Abstract

Traditional distributed collaboration frameworks based on assumption of static collaboration and usage patterns cannot fulfil many new requirements imposed by today´s collaboration with heterogeneous and ever-changing environments and computing contexts. In this paper, we describe a collaboration framework, called as EkSarva, which enables adaptability by providing context-awareness through a set of ontologies with well-defined semantics and embedding workflow into collaboration processes
