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

Designing Integration of Sharing, Messaging, and Awareness for Mobile Users
TL;DR: This work presents the iterative design and evaluation of mobile social software that integrates aspects of messaging, media sharing and awareness cues, and reflects on the qualities of openness, multiplicity and continuity of functionality.
Automatic Classification of Mobile Phone s Contacts
TL;DR: This paper investigates the automatic classification of contacts in phones’ contact lists, using the user’s communication history, and argues that the current results already enable to ease the manual classification of mobile phone contacts.

Activity recognition with end-user sensor installation in the home
TL;DR: An end-user sensor installation method is proposed using “stick on” wireless object usage sensors and is evaluated employing two in-situ, exploratory user studies, where volunteers live in a home fitted with an audio-visual monitoring system.

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.

Awareness and coordination in shared workspaces

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.
