Abstract
Collaborative systems for mobile environments require being adaptable to various physical and computing scenarios with varying conditions due to mobility restrictions. Assuming that, it is recommendable to reuse as far as possible the work already realized to deal with problems inherent to mobility, device heterogeneity and adaptation in the groupware work. Our conceptual framework, the so-called Collaborative EPF, has been defined in this line. It is conceived as a reference instrument that offers a set of directives and heuristics for supporting the design of plastic and groupware User Interfaces. In addition, CIAM is a methodology for obtaining the conceptual modelling of CSCW applications, providing thus a complement for the Collaborative EPF. In this chapter, we show the integration of both works providing a comprehensive and original methodological framework to be instantiated in operative Model-Based tools for work in-group.
