It is necessary that group members feel they are part of the group, in particular when they are geographically dispersed. This kind of information is called awareness and it is an important research aspect in the computer supported cooperative work and computer supported collaborative learning areas. Supporting awareness has important, if subtle, benefits, such as increasing the effectiveness of collaborative work, fostering social relationships, and improving the general wellbeing of individuals. To create and define awareness mechanisms in collaborative environments supported by computers is a complex process that includes several steps that need to be considered, focused on understanding characteristics of interdependent group work with the objective of designing adequate computer-based technology to support cooperative work processes. However, in the literature it is so difficult to find out a structured method that allow designers to develop collaborative applications centered on awareness aspects. This paper proposes the definition of a framework that could assist groupware engineers to incorporate awareness mechanisms in their developments. This framework has a methodological proposal or set of phases to follow, as well as a taxonomy that includes the awareness information that should be incorporated to improve the collaborative experience. The paper presents a review of several awareness mechanisms, frameworks and uses proposed in the literature from a software engineering perspective, focusing on the aspects to be considered when designing and implementing awareness mechanisms in groupware tools. A descriptive theory of awareness for the purpose of supporting groupware development is thus generated. Finally, a case study is described using the framework proposed. 000135712 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/Construyendo Europa desde Aragón$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T25-17D$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/TIN2015-66731-C2-2-R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/TIN2015-67149-C3-1-R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/TIN2015-67149-C3-3-R 000135712 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000135712 590__ $$a4.594$$b2019 000135712 591__ $$aCOMPUTER SCIENCE, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE$$b26 / 136 = 0.191$$c2019$$dQ1$$eT1 000135712 591__ $$aTELECOMMUNICATIONS$$b18 / 89 = 0.202$$c2019$$dQ1$$eT1 000135712 591__ $$aCOMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS$$b27 / 155 = 0.174$$c2019$$dQ1$$eT1 000135712 592__ $$a0.544$$b2019 000135712 593__ $$aComputer Science (miscellaneous)$$c2019$$dQ1 000135712 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000135712 700__ $$aGutiérrez, F.L. 000135712 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-9895-0837$$aGallardo, J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000135712 700__ $$aOrtega, M. 000135712 700__ $$aFardoun, H.M. 000135712 700__ $$aMolina, A.I. 000135712 7102_ $$15007$$2570$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
