Abstract
Is eCollaboration going to revolutionalise the way we are working, learning and living? Our working environment evidently is in a process of transition towards more flexibility and creativity. Location has diminished in importance. Mobility adds a new quality to the increasing flexibility of knowledge workers, but could be constrained in the future due to concerns about sustainable development. New forms of collaboration emerge, such as the community of professionals. Collaboration across organizational boundaries has become important, if not an imperative and is enabled by user-friendly information and communication technologies. The word "place" embodies new meanings. Collaborative shared workspaces are more and more complementing people's physical workplaces.
This book presents key results of the EC-funded research project MOSAIC (FP6-2003-IST-2, March 2004 - Oct 2005). It addresses the current practice and state of the art of mobile workspaces, future scenarios, and challenges for research and innovation resulting in a research agenda for the future.
The agenda is based on an analysis of technological and social developments as well as case studies in three thematic domains: engineering, rural and regional working, and health and wellbeing. The book concludes with clear-cut recommendations for an innovative and socially sustainable workspace design of the future.
