Abstract
A study of a spatially distributed product design team shows that most members are rarely at their individual desks. Mobility is essential for the use of shared resources and for communication. It facilitates informal interactions and awareness unavailable to colleagues at remote sites. Impli-cations for technology design include portable and distrib-uted computing resources, in particular, moving beyond individual workstation-centric CSCW applications.
