Improving collaboration in virtual environments via context-based adaptation

This paper addresses our effort of investigating context-based adaptation as a prospective solution to enhance group interaction in collaborative virtual environments. Through our work, we aim to provide adaptation of assigning users´ roles based on the context of users when collaboratively interacting in a virtual world. We describe an experiment to assess whether the adaptation results in an improved group collaboration in virtual environments or not. From the experiment, we learned that the context-based adaptation of assigning roles to users improves the group performance in collaborative virtual environments.
