Abstract:
Collaboration among people has been empowered by using mobile devices in daily life. However, increasing user demands for a better mobile collaboration experience require constant evolution and adaptation of existing mobile collaborative technologies. In this paper, the collaborative workflow technology is adapted to enhance mobile peer-to-peer collaboration. With context awareness integrated, workflows are adapted to collaborators' needs and circumstances. Extra management support for content behaviour is incorporated in order to increase content awareness in workflows and enable communicating progress among collaborators. This paper introduces MobWEL, a context-aware content-centric workflow language designed for mobile peer-to-peer collaboration. MobWEL extends BPEL, using constructs from existing workflow approaches, Context4BPEL and BPELlight, and adopting elements from the BALSA workflow model.
