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

Beyond 'yesterday's tomorrow': towards the design of awareness technologies for the contemporary worker
TL;DR: A pilot field study of the myUnity platform demonstrated the significant value of pervasive access to workplace awareness and communication facilities, as well as positive behavioral change in day-to-day communication practices for most users.
Exploring privacy for ubiquitous computing: Tools, methods and experiments
TL;DR: This thesis explores how information systems can be constructed so that they handle personal data in a reasonable manner and proposes an algorithm for locationing in cellular networks that does not require the location information to be revealed beyond the user's terminal.

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

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.
