text: This paper presents a set of design recommendations for team awareness systems
based on fundamental social and technical requirements. The work was motivated
by recurring usability problems identified in evaluations of state-of-the-art
awareness systems. Based on these findings, it is argued that the limited success
of existing systems is mostly caused by conceptual shortcomings, which can be
overcome by adhering to a set of design recommendations elaborated in this paper.
To demonstrate the validity of this argumentation, the development and evaluation
of an ambient awareness system is illustrated.

text: 'The manifolds of spaces and places we are entering, populating, transiently
crossing and eventually leaving (only to immerse in another subsequent context)
as part of our daily activities in our personal, public and professional lives
are undergoing a dramatic change. Although this change is taking place we are
aware of it only in a limited fashion due to its unobtrusive character as illustrated
in the statement by Streitz and Nixon (2005): “It seems like a paradox but it
will soon become reality: The rate at which computers disappear will be matched
by the rate at which information technology will increasingly permeate our environment
and our lives”.'

text: 'In this paper, we address three major issues, look at their interaction and
combination and present our results on how to arrive at solutions for these issues.
The issues are: 1) supporting informal communication and atmosphere in organisations,
2) the role and potential of ambient displays in future work environments, and
3) the combination of mostly static artefacts that are integrated in the architectural
environment with mobile devices carried by people. Our results can be considered
as steps towards the design and realization of what we call “social architectural
spaces” in the context of future work environments. These environments will be
populated with a range of different smart artefacts that are designed to facilitate
awareness and notification as well as informal communication. We address a range
of spaces in office buildings including public spaces, e.g., in the hallway, the
foyer, and the cafeteria that have not been the focus of research so far. In particular,
we present two artefacts: the Hello.Wall, a wall-size large ambient display, and
the ViewPort, a mobile handheld device. They are interacting with each other via
wireless networks and different types of sensing technology. The artefacts and
the software were developed in the EU-funded “Disappearing Computer”- project
“Ambient Agoras: Dynamic Information Clouds in a Hybrid Worlds”.'
