Abstract
A system and method for facilitating collaboration of a group. The system and method provide a ubiquitous anytime/everywhere environment realized through fixed and mobile technologies and scaffolded by group support software. The system includes a collaboration engine having an architecture that supports both generic collaborative processes along with task specific team processes instantiated through a sophisticated suite of advanced modular technologies. The collaboration engine drives dynamic and real time collaborative problem solving and decision making by integrating sensor and human data from the field with group support software that efficiently and effectively manages team interaction.
