Context-aware content-centric collaborative workflow management for mobile devices

The paper examines mobile context-aware contentcentric workflows. With the proliferation of mobile devices, distributed collaborative teams can communicate, share content and remain productive while working out of the office. The collaboration process can be enhanced, more dynamic and efficient by using a workflow management technology that responds to collaborators’ requirements, supports coordination of a teamwork and is adapted for context-aware content manipulation. This paper discusses context awareness and proposes to extend the existing collaborative workflow approach by a context-aware content lifecycle in order to make workflow processes more adaptive to collaboration needs.
