  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.
