We have developed a wiki-based platform , called the WikiDesignPlatform (WDP), which couples (as required) additional components (e.g. email, instant messenger, CVS repository) with the traditional wiki and automatically produces detailed transcripts of all the online activity by the users, far richer that the average "recent changes" history provided by most wikis.
Context-aware computing refers to a general class of mobile systems that can sense their physical environment, i.e., their context of use, and adapt their behavior accordingly. Such systems are a component of a ubiquitous computing or pervasive computing environment. Three important aspects of context are: (1) where you are; (2) who you are with; and (3) what resources are nearby. Although location is a primary capability, location-aware does not necessarily capture things of interest that are mobile or changing. Context-aware in contrast is used more generally to include nearby people, devices, lighting, noise level, network availability, and even the social situation; e.g., whether you are with your family or a friend from school.
