TLDR
The need to take into account what is known about humans' interpretational capabilities is suggested, and novel design opportunities that lie in the integration of cues with functionality and content on the mobile phone are pointed out.Abstract:
This paper considers how we may design future mobile awareness systems. Building upon research on social cognition, we suggest the need to take into account what is known about humans' interpretational capabilities. We identify design issues from the level of an individual awareness cue to the level of a product concept, systematically exposing the associated solution spaces. Using four real applications as analytical examples, we point out multiple ways in which design can affect the user's processing of awareness information and thereby yield different outcomes in the use of technology. We conclude by pointing out novel design opportunities that lie in the integration of cues with functionality and content on the mobile phone.read more

I Share, You Care: Private Status Sharing and Sender-Controlled Notifications in Mobile Instant Messaging
TL;DR: MyButler, an Android app prototype that instantiates two design concepts for MIM-private status sharing and sender-controlled notifications-that aim to lower the pressure for an immediate reply and reduce unnecessary interruptions by untimely notifications are built.
iCAMS2: Developing a mobile communication tool using location information and schedule information with J2ME
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a mobile communication tool which uses location and schedule information, based on the lessons learned by conducting user studies on their previous system, they made improvements by implementing the use of mobile phones equipped with a GPS and a J2ME.

User-Centered Awareness in Computer-Supported Cooperative Work-Systems: Structured Embedding of Findings from Social Sciences
TL;DR: It can be concluded that awareness addresses different constellations of group settings, different types of individual behavior, and different contexts of use, which should help to achieve a shift from technology-driven development toward human-centered design of collaborative communities.

How it works: a field study of non-technical users interacting with an intelligent system
TL;DR: An investigation into how users come to understand an intelligent system as they use it in their daily work suggests an appropriate level of feedback for user interfaces of intelligent systems, provides a baseline level of complexity for user understanding, and highlights the challenges of making users aware of sensed inputs for such systems.
