People go about their daily tasks with an in-built awareness of
their social and physical environments. This awareness helps them
to work cooperatively in groups, coordinate actions, and to
maintain and enhance social communication with others. Networked
technology has extended the reach of people's awareness to remote
and distributed groups and provided access to a much larger social
network than was previously feasible.
Awareness systems that are designed to support people to build
up, maintain and make use of these extended networks are attracting
the interest of industry, and include buddy lists in instant
messaging, sustained audio-video links, active contact lists on
mobile phones and so forth.
This book contains contributions from leading researchers in the
field and looks at the design of awareness systems from theoretical
foundations through to empirical studies and design concepts and
will be of interest to practitioners and researchers in the field
of HCI.
