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.

Active construction of experience through mobile media: a field study with implications for recording and sharing
TL;DR: This analysis of the organization of experience-related activities in the mass event focuses on the active role of technology-mediated memories in constructing experiences and advocates applications that not only store or capture human experience for sharing or later use but also actively participates in the very construction of experience.

Exploring Issues of User Model Transparency and Proactive Behaviour in an Office Environment Control System
TL;DR: On-going work is described to investigate the design of a prototype system that can learn a given user’s behaviour in an office environment in order to use the inferred rules to populate a user model and support appropriate proactive behaviour (e.g. turning on the user's fan under appropriate conditions).
