Abstract :
In this paper we address the problem of collaborative workflow in mobile environments. Specifically, we present a solution for opportunistic task assignment to mobile users based on location, context and motion awareness. As an example of this approach, we present an application based on the new Kinetic User Interface framework where users participate to dynamic workflow through their displacement in designated active zones.
