Abstract
The increasing popularity of portable devices and advances in wireless communication technologies push the development of mobile groupware applications. Mobile applications are challenging for software designers because the use of centralized components is not recommended, the communication service cannot be ensured and the software must run on computer devices with little hardware resources. Frequently, data and services interoperability is also required for collaborators. A design patterns system is presented as a way to deal with these modeling requirements; it is intended to help modeling the coordination services required to support mobile collaboration. These patterns serve as educational and communicative media for developers, students or researchers on how to design services for mobile collaborative applications. They also foster the reuse of proven solutions.
