Abstract

We present a ubiquitous service environment for teamwork, supported by Active Documents. The environment consists of a physically dressed conference room and a software architecture based on Java and Jini. At the application level, mobile agent technology provide Active Documents that utilize context information and distributed resources to support users. We also present a prototype and preliminary results from observations in a meeting scenario.
