Implementação e Análise de Uso de uma Aplicação para Edição Cooperativa em Dispositivos Móveis

Abstract

Supporting mobile cooperative work with synchronous applications that require consistency of data is a challenge due to the constraints imposed by both mobile devices and wireless network. The development of techniques for designing flexible cooperative systems that better fit the mobile users is required. However, both techniques and applications are still scarce and there are doubts over the effectiveness of such applications in the CSCW research community. In this article we developed a synchronous application that supports cooperative edition by mobile users. The usage of the application provides an analysis of how the limitations of mobile devices influence the success of synchronous mobile cooperative work.
