In the paper titled "Using Web 2.0 Technologies to Support Technology Surveillance in a University Context " the author team (Florian Matthes, Marta Beatriz Infante Abreu and Alexander Steinhoff) a theoretical model of a Web 2.0 supported Technology Surveillance (TS) process is developed. The model specifies how Web 2.0 technologies can replace traditional tools, support the actors in the TS process and how they transform the TS process itself. This means, that the roles of the people participating in the process change and that previously separate activities are partially integrated. It is further demonstrated how this approach can be applied in practice using an existing commercial web based collaboration platform.
