Experimenting with technology associated with Mobile Desktops

  • Tomorrow's ways of doing business are likely to be far more challenging and interesting than today's due to technological advances that allow people to operate or cooperate anytime, anywhere. Today's workers are becoming mobile without the need of a work home base. Organizations are evolving from the hierarchical lines of control and information flow into more dynamic and flexible structures, where "teams" and individuals are the building blocks for forming task forces and work groups to deal with short and long term project tasks, issues and opportunities. Those individuals and teams will collaborate from their mobile desktops, whether at their offices, home or on the road. A revised paradigm for conducting small and large-scale development and integration is emerging, sometimes called the "virtual enterprise", both in the military and industrial environments. This new paradigm supports communication, cooperation and collaboration of geographically dispersed teams. In this paper we discuss experiences with specific technologies that were investigated by TRW's Infrastructure for Collaboration among Distributed Teams (ICaDT) project; an Independent Research and Development (IR&D) effort.
