Abstract
In groupware development, one of the most important work-group support issues is providing information about the context under which a group interacts. Research has been done in order to clarify the relationship between context and group work. The goal of this paper is to describe an experiment aimed at evaluating Interaction Context relevance on the collaboration level in group interactions supported by groupware and to establish a way to specify context aspects in groupware design. A case study was set up and carried out with this purpose.
