Abstract
Last technological advances have brought drastic changes affecting the way interactive systems are conceived. Application developers have to tackle the fact that user interfaces could be controlled by multiple end users on diverse computing platforms in assorted environments. Novel user interfaces enable end users to distribute any widget and piece of information across different contexts. However, these kinds of facilities acquire an added value when they are ruled by the well-known awareness. It is necessary to devise new mechanisms to support distributed user interfaces flexible enough to deal with the diversity of contexts and group concerns. Presented work provides a series of contributions in distributed user interfaces support, in the line of with respect to introducing awareness.
