Abstract :
Humans tend to interact, to share information and establish relationships and naturally form groups based on interests. This fact motivate research on models, abstractions and mechanisms in order to enable more transparent and flexible interactions between users and group based collaborations. We propose a model that deals with dynamic group membership and combines multiple forms of communication and sharing mechanisms inside each group unit.
