The World Wide Web, wireless devices, and wireless networks have increased the opportunities for supporting pervasive document access and sharing. However, today´s solutions remain spotty in their coverage for pervasive information needs. To address this, AynSpot is developed, a Web-service-based platform that seamlessly connects users to personal and shared documents wherever they go, meeting several key requirements of pervasive information access. This paper describes AnySpot´s design principles and report our experience deploying it in a large, multinational organization.
