This thesis work contributes both in the pervasive computing and computer supported collaborative work domains. We explore these domains by an extended presentation of related works concerning models, designs and evaluation methods. Our main contribution for these areas is the PCSCW model, which proposes an original approach to the integration of the pervasive aspect inside the collaboration. By relying on an ontological model representing users' context and a set of devices collaboration rules, our work enables smart devices to analyse their context and find the best way to behave and collaborate with other devices of the environment in order to seamlessly and efficiently channel and facilitate the collaboration of humans. We also propose a methodology allowing collaborative systems' developers to build their own evaluation strategies.
