Considering Context Elements in Pre-Meeting Systems

Research has been done in order to propose solutions that enhance interactions among participants and improve activity coordination in the meeting cycle. Some of these are related to pre-meeting phase conduction. We argue that collaboration could be enhanced if we supplied relevant context information through awareness mechanisms. This paper aims at evaluating context elements in an asynchronous Web-based pre-meeting application. As a result, a context framework is discussed in order to support awareness design in the meeting support applications domain
