In Ubiquitous Computing, augmented objects refer to those elements of
the real world which have been provided with computational capabilities to meet a
specific need. Meanwhile, Collaborative Writing Environments (CWE) allow
groups of people to work together and increase the chances of success and share
knowledge when they are working on shared documents. An extremely important
aspect in CWEs is notification mechanisms as these are essential to provide users
awareness about the collaborative work they are doing. In this paper, we describe a
set of augmented objects created to support the notification in CWEs; these objects
can improve the way in which the notifications are delivered to users, according to
the writing strategy defined by the collaboration team.
