Last week, my PhD supervisor and 2 fellow PhD students (Julien Subercaze and Johann Stan, also under his supervision), participated to two seminars. The first seminar was in Universität Karlsruhe (Germany), and the second seminar was in Universiteit Twente (Enschede, the Netherlands).

In the frame of these seminars, I presented some slides on my current PhD work: Awareness Without Overload.

This presentation introduces existing approaches for improved enterprise communication and collaboration (including social web platforms and research works on Computer-Supported Collaborative Environments), which motivates a convergent framework of real-time contextual notifications based on employees’ work context. The framework is presented and current research issues (work in progress) are introduced.

As usual , I’m happy to welcome your comments :-)
