Abstract: This brief paper concerns the design of real-time collaborative systems adhering to a nomadic work- and study practice Nomadic practices can be characterized as having a heterogeneous workplace, working or studying from different locations during a day This practice has been enabled by advances in technology and formed by human behavior This means that we now must consider this type of work when designing collaboration software This brief paper outlines some major issues concerning technology-mediated collaboration arising from nomadic work practices; different network conditions, data cost and device heterogeneity, and proposes tentative design ideas addressing these issues
