Today the COOP 2008 started (http://www.coop08.org/). Ecospace is represented by a paper on Expectation Awareness, a new functionality that has been implemented to BSCW in the context of Ecospace.

Dr. Yu You and Panu Åkerman from the Nokia Research Center in Tampere, Finland were presenting a poster about their Virtual Office Program. Their aim "is to explore new mobile technologies and architectures and leverage web technologies to enable smooth and ad-hoc collaboration and office work for enterprise and normal users with their PCs and mobile phones."

Amongst their main research areas

From the ECSCW 2007 conference in Limerick:

Today Carla Simone (Univ. Milano Bicocca) presented an interesting paper on conventions and awareness that aims at linking the provision of awareness information  with cooperation conventions. This research confirms our approach as it is closely related to the expectation awareness concept that has been implememted in BSCW in the context of Ecospace.
