TLDR
This work is interested in re-designing a Smartphone's contact book to provide cues of the current situations of others, and argues how the design choices support mobile communication decisions and group coordinations by promoting awareness.Abstract:
Acontextuality of the mobile phone often leads to a caller's uncertainty over a callee's current state, which in turn often hampers mobile collaboration. We are interested in re-designing a Smartphone's contact book to provide cues of the current situations of others. ContextContacts presents several meaningful, automatically communicated situation cues of trusted others. Its interaction design follows social psychological findings on how people make social attributions based on impoverished cues, on how self-disclosure of cues is progressively and interactionally managed, and on how mobility affects interaction through cues. We argue how our design choices support mobile communication decisions and group coordinations by promoting awareness. As a result, the design is very minimal and integrated, in an "unremarkable" manner, to previously learned usage patterns with the phone. First laboratory and field evaluations indicate important boundary conditions for and promising avenues toward more useful and enjoyable mobile awareness applications.read more

sometimes less is more: multi-perspective exploration of disclosure abstractions in location-aware social mobile applications
TL;DR: Empirical evidence is provided that relatively simple privacy mechanisms like disclosure abstractions can simplify rule-based privacy configurations and increase the likelihood of location sharing, though there is still a significant chance that abstraction can be reverse-engineered.

New Concepts for Presence and Availability in Ubiquitous and Mobile Computing - Enabling Selective Availability through Stream-Based Active Learning
TL;DR: This work founding the concepts of Presence and Availability on a deep understanding of human privacy needs, derived from literature and shows how the selective and dynamic nature of privacy is not sufficiently reflected in current systems.
Social ways to manage availability in mediated communication
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the next great improvement in tools supporting mediated communication could be achieved through leveraging social abilities of people rather than defining new algorithms to protect them from unwanted communications, and they describe prior research in the domain of supporting availabilitymanagement, formulate research goals pertaining to attainment of socially salient behaviours in mediated settings and outline the research work described in this thesis.

The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life
TL;DR: For instance, in the case of an individual in the presence of others, it can be seen as a form of involuntary expressive behavior as discussed by the authors, where the individual will have to act so that he intentionally or unintentionally expresses himself, and the others will in turn have to be impressed in some way by him.

A simplest systematics for the organization of turn-taking for conversation
TL;DR: Turn-taking is used for the ordering of moves in games, for allocating political office, for regulating traffic at intersections, for the servicing of customers at business establishments, and for talking in interviews, meetings, debates, ceremonies, conversations.

Awareness and coordination in shared workspaces

TL;DR: A study of shared editor use is discussed which suggests that awareness information provided and exploited passively through the shared workspace, allows users to move smoothly between close and loose collaboration, and to assign and coordinate work dynamically.

What we talk about when we talk about context
TL;DR: This paper suggests that the representational stance implied by conventional interpretations of “context” misinterprets the role of context in everyday human activity, and proposes an alternative model that suggests different directions for design.
