Abstract

This paper aims to present an awareness service, named Aw2SOA, which was developed in order to support distributed groupware design in WGWSOA environment. It is a middleware specific service which was implemented according to SOA principles and aspect-oriented concepts. In groupware literature, service-oriented approach is suggested aiming to solve reuse and evolution requirements. However, awareness support is fulfilled by similar functionalities implemented in different modules. As a result, activities related to the maintenance and evolution of this matter cannot be considered as easy tasks. WGWSOA (Web- based Groupware Service-Oriented Architecture) is based on middleware services for collaborative applications.
