Software support for distributed and mobile collaboration is
increasingly becoming a technological key issue in large and
distributed enterprises. As employees are traveling or working in
remote and changing locations they should be able to attend to
business tasks regardless of their physical location, while using
different computing devices. A requirement analysis involving case
studies for two global enterprises resulted in the definition of the
MOTION architecture to support distributed mobile teamwork.

In this paper we argue that publish-subscribe (P/S) is a suitable
paradigm to effectively support mobile teamwork. Based on the
requirements and the design principles of the MOTION architecture, we
contrast the application-specific requirements for P/S components with
the capabilities of existing P/S middleware. On the example of the P/S
system SPEAR, we demonstrate how P/S components can be integrated
intoa system that supports mobile teamwork. We present a distributed
matching algorithm which combines the high performance of the SPEAR
middleware with the expressive power of XQL subscriptions. Our results
are substantiated by experimental results that demonstrate the
effectiveness of our integration methodology.
