"Knowledge workers collaborate in teams, networks and communities in
order to accom- plish knowledge processes. They have to be supported
with adequate organizational as well as information and communication
technological (ICT) infrastructures. From an ICT perspective,
requirements have changed when compared to more traditional (oce)
work due to the considerably higher complexity of data, the focus on
communication across the boundaries of corporate ICT infrastructures
and the mobility of knowledge workers. This requires the systematic
handling of context and substantially extended functionality for
collaboration in the knowledge workers' personal workspaces. In this
paper, we outline typical knowledge processes and discuss ICT support
for the personal management of information, of web content, of
collaboration and of knowledge. We present Infotop, a tool that
supports the creation and management of shared-context information
workspaces and organizes knowledge resources in a peer-to-peer (p2p)
archi- tecture. We show how Infotop can be used to support typical
knowledge work processes and discuss its dimensions, its user
interface, its shared context workspaces, its architec- ture, and some
thoughts on a prototype implementation currently under development."
