Mixed media interaction in cooperative scientific practice: Administration of digital and physical artifacts

Context-adaptive Systems often operate on the basis of descriptions that capture object characteristics. In knowledge work, physical/real and digital/virtual artefacts and their mutual relations undergo frequent processes of reinterpretation which are difficult to capture in static context models. In this contribution, we use an implementation and case study of an extended literature management systemthat offers an integrated management for both artefact classes to explore, how objects can be contextualized by the interactions, in which they play a role. © Springer-Verlag 2011.
