A workflow-centric, context-aware collaboration framework

During recent years, ubiquitous computing and universal network connectivity have given rise to expectations of building a digital society, where remote participants with heterogeneous and dynamic connection and process capabilities can join seamlessly to accomplish a common task. Intelligent, context-aware, and workflow-centric collaboration is an essential prerequisite to fulfill that expectation. In this paper, we describe a generic framework, dubbed as EkSarva, which is capable of embedding process and context-awareness intelligence into collaborative sessions leading to increased opportunities for process automation.
