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

Mobile application usability: conceptualization and instrument development
TL;DR: This paper presented a mobile application usability conceptualization and survey instrument following the 10- step procedure recommended by MacKenzie et al. (2011), and found that the constructs that represented the conceptualization were good predictors of both outcomes and compared favorably to an existing instrument based on Microsoft's usability guidelines.

Rethinking location sharing: exploring the implications of social-driven vs. purpose-driven location sharing
TL;DR: Significant differences are found in terms of users' decisions about what location information to share, their privacy concerns, and how privacy-preserving their disclosures were in social-driven location sharing.

TL;DR: Both the beta4 integrin ligand-binding and cytoplasmic domains together with EGF were required for the synergistic activation of a Rac-dependent signaling pathway that was essential for keratinocyte directional migration in response to a galvanotactic stimulus.

Farther than you may think: an empirical investigation of the proximity of users to their mobile phones
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report an in-depth empirical investigation of the assumption that the mobile phone is a suitable proxy for its owner's location, in which they measured proximity of the phone to its owner over several weeks of continual observation.

Understanding mobile contexts
TL;DR: In insights from an ethnomethodologically inspired study of 25 adult urbanites in Helsinki, typical phenomena in mobility are described: how situational and planned acts intermesh in navigation, how people construct personal and group spaces, and how temporal tensions develop and dissolve.

Disclosing oneself to a stranger: Reciprocity and its limits
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the determinants of self-disclosure between strangers in airport departure lounges and found that more intimate and longer disclosures were provided in the self-description condition.
Book
In Pursuit of Privacy: Law, Ethics, and the Rise of Technology
TL;DR: The book as mentioned in this paper is a valuable resource for teachers of management ethics and those seeking ethical management knowledge and applications for use in a wider variety of management teaching contexts, and it has a well-structured, logical framework and plan supported by clear diagrams, excellent discussion questions and experiential exercises for use with classes or smaller groups of students.

Self-disclosure, reciprocity and liking.
TL;DR: It was suggested that various costs become salient when the information is highly intimate, making the overall outcome negative, and there was a curvilinear relationship between self-disclosure and liking.
