Welcome

Hi everybody,

This blog will be used as a publishing space for my thoughts, ideas and other interesting things. Feel free to comment or ask question about anything you think that I might be helpful.

Currently I am conducting my PhD studies in Computer Science with an orientation in Informatics at Växjö University. My field of research is within the areas of mobile systems and pervasive and ubiquitous computing, especially in exploring the use of contextual information for designing innovative services and applications in specific domains. I am currently focusing my efforts on collaborative learning and collaborative knowledge building activities where I explore the role of of mobile and positioning technologies to support these processes.

In the same time I work as lecturer in two universities: University of Prishtina in Kosova and South East European University in Tetova (Macedonia).
