Abstract
In this paper, we present a new extension and reinterpretation of one of the most successful models of awareness in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), called the Spatial Model of Interaction (SMI), which manages awareness in Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) through a set of key concepts. This work, carried out at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, proposes a couple of special features: the management of the data information from the user point of view and the co-ordinated sharing of computational resources in a virtual organisation. The final awareness model allows users to be aware of the data grid information in a grid computing infrastructure.
