Abstract
Few contest that Computer Supported Cooperative Work has contributed to a significant improvement in productivity and effectiveness of collaboration. During recent years, pervasive computing has imposed another imperative requirement on collaboration systems. That is, remote participants with heterogeneous computing environments should be able to join seamlessly in the collaboration process and the collaboration process itself should be able to satisfy the needs of different computing environments as well be able to adapt to the changes among different environments. In order to satisfy this new requirement and embed collaboration workflow rules into automated process, we have presented a generic framework, EkSarva, which incorporates context-awareness and workflow-centric into the collaborative sessions. In essence, we believe CSCW should be a design-oriented research.
