The paper describes a framework used to develop mobile collaborative applications in Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME). The framework focuses on the support for same place-same-time collaboration on mobile phones utilising Personal Area Networks (PANs). The authors believe that the PAN technology available on mobile phones enables for a broad range of new collaborative applications supporting collocated work and spontaneous interaction. Such applications can be developed using J2ME along with PAN APIs like the Bluetooth API supported by the most recent mobile phones. However, these APIs lack of high-level peer-to-peer primitives, so the developers have to focus too much on the technical aspects and not the collaborative aspects.
