Leveraging Mobile Context for Effective Collaboration and Task Management
Faisal Luqman, Martin Griss · ISCRAM · 2011
Collaboration and task management is challenging in distributed, dynamically-formed teams, typical in large scale disaster response scenarios. Ineffective collaboration may potentially result in poor performance and loss of life. The increased adoption of sensor rich mobile devices allow for mobile context to be leveraged. In this paper, we present Overseer, an agent-based system that exploits context information from mobile devices to facilitate collaboration and task allocation. We describe how mobile context can be used to create dynamic rolebased assignments to enhance collaboration and effective task management.
