End-users' Integration of Applications and Devices: A Cooperation Based Approach

T he current organizational and technological evolution suggests to conceive tailorability and EUD also in terms of integration of off the shelf applications and devices that support collaboration. To this aim this chapter proposes an approach that leverages the ability of actors to coordinate their activities and then grounds integration on the notion of cooperation. The resulting technological environment is presented and illustrated through a case derived from an ongoing project. Some considerations derived from a short experimentation conclude the chapter.
