‘Presence’ can be defined
… as an aggregated view of an [object]’s dynamically changing attributesDr. R. Chakraborty (Versada Networks), JabberConf 2001
Availability (“I’m logged on for a videoconference”) Preference (“Only my boss can interrupt me now”) Capability (“My device can accept video calls”) Location (“I’m in Munich… urgent calls only”)
awareness ofcolleagues’
availability/ sense of ‘presence’
Enriched presence
Presence visualisation: stepping stone to scalability and enrichment of ways to convey presence.
Presence semantics can help us think about more powerful ways to convey presence.
Groupbroadcast
BuddySpace Instant Messaging
Your contact list pushed out to automatically
Usual task/ geography based families of contacts
Jabber XML open source architecture
BuddySpace Instant Messaging
Custom maps Embeddable maps Lightweight ‘radar
view’
BuddySpace Instant Messaging
Presence semantics
BuddySpace Instant Messaging
Conference room facilities:
Voting countdown
to meeting start
group chat
BuddySpace future directions
Automatic maps: GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPRS, GSM cell triangulation, postcodes...
J2ME client (e.g. Nokia 7650) Personal profiles: interests, ‘.plan’,
work/home/holiday locations Matchmaking services Zones of trust
Compendium: ‘seeing what you say’
Real time mapping of issues and ideas in meetings
Connecting ideas: visually, by sets, metadata, and hypertextually
Free-form and template driven maps Export from Word, and out to Web/XML Interoperable via Jabber XML protocol
mapping real time discussions/ group
sensemaking
Compendium dialogue map
Sending Compendium nodes to a Jabber IM client
Incoming text message to Compendium
I-X Process Panels The I-X tool suite proides an environment for
handling issues, performing activities, placing constraints, adding annotations, etc.
Based on a synthesis-task ontology <I-N-C-A> Role of I-X in CoAKTinG:
Meeting support: issue handling and activity tracking during and after meeting.
following through decisions/coordinating activities

I-X progress
Implementational: Development of Jabber communication strategy. Display of BuddySpace presence information. Basic issue/activity-passing to Compendium.
Conceptual: Mapping to/from Compendium concepts. Development of ‘meeting-as-synthesis’ model. Development of domain models for meeting
support tasks.
Sending Compendium nodes to an I-X panel to
coordinate asynchronous activity
I-X future directions
Enrich exchange of concepts between I-X and Compendium
Enhance links between I-Space and BuddySpace
Results of both tasks should feed into the development of a ‘meeting ontology’: To support deployment of the CoAKTinG support
‘package’ in the various testbed scenarios.
Towards a meetings ontology
virtual meetings
Semantic replay/browsing of meetings… Video stream <event> <event> <event> …
Speech event stream <event> <event> <event> …
Jabber event stream <event> <event> <event> …
Slide event stream <event> <event> <event> …
Compendium event stream <event> <event> <event> …
How to integrate into a coherent meeting replay user interface?
recovering information from meetings
Application event stream <event> <event> <event> …
Meeting replay goals
To deliver tools to capture and flexibly replay virtual meetings
Targeted video-conferencing platforms Access Grid (multicast / mbone tools) H.323 clients via MCU (e.g. Netmeeting)
Builds on work from the HyStream project on annotated media streams
Ontological annotation of this material
Enabling for instance… Capture and playback of audio/video alongside other
CoAKTinG tools, slides etc. Navigation using Process and Issue-based ontologies
(via Compendium and I-X)
