The document discusses the differences between computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and ubiquitous computing (UbiComp). While CSCW focuses on collaborative interaction between multiple users using existing technology, UbiComp focuses on embedded interaction between users and new types of technology. The document suggests that while CSCW and UbiComp currently have different approaches, a future merger is possible with a focus on ubiquitous computing solutions to address global challenges through globally distributed teams.
