Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is the study of how people work together using computer technology. It is a multi-disciplinary research field dealing with the social, theoretical, practical and technical aspects of collaboration and how the use of technology can affect groups, organisations and communities.

The purpose of this laboratory course is to practically explore modern techniques to build large-scale distributed information systems. Participants will work in groups of three or more students, and develop projects in several phases. The course is offered in both Fall and Spring semesters.

The course examines how traditional data management techniques have been adapted to support various forms of mobile information systems. Topics to be covered include: databases of mobile objects, embedded databases, context-awareness, real-time processing of data streams, synchronization and mobile transactions, P2P architectures and opportunistic data sharing.
