GoalGoalCommunication is enhanced through
the inclusion of rich presence information, through which participants may see not only who is on-line, but also where they are and what they are doing, so that communications becomes planned and desired instead of disruptive and haphazard.

Charter Foster the deployment of SIP-based
communication that integrate multiple communications elements in the context of presence
PresencePresence Presence
“Notification of events that facilitate communication”
“On-line”, “Away”, “Idle”, “On phone”, “Out to lunch”, ...
Back to the future? Remember BSD: finger, write, who, talk? Zephyr at MIT (1980s) Presence restores the sense of community that
existed on timesharing systems Forward to the future!
New standards for interoperability and scalability User-centric control of presence publication Richer state semantics and automatic triggers
Presence and the Presence and the EnterpriseEnterprise Users on campus are defecting
Cell phones (for mobility) AIM, Yahoo!, Skype (for IM and presence)
Enterprises Control the physical and networking
environment of their users Uniquely situated to provide presence
services Control vital presence sensors: calendar,
room occupancy sensors, physical access control
Rich Presence TrialsRich Presence Trials Prototypes of next-gen campus services
Trials conducted at Internet2 conferences Based on SIP/SIMPLE Highly-participatory New network infrastructure (WiFi location
tracking) New middleware (presence agent / location
server) New clients
Participants Columbia IRT Lab, HP Labs Cambridge,
University of Pennsylvania, Ford Motor Company, Microsoft, ...

Determining locationDetermining location Two types of sensors:
end system determines location “handset-based” GPS, 802.11 triangulation
network conveys location to end system or other component MAC backtracking AP-based 802.11 triangulation swipe cards, iButtons, active badges
Two modes: explicit user action: swipe card, touch iButton involuntary: network-based tracking
GPS may not be practical (cost, power, topology) Add location beacons
extrapolate based on distance moved odometer, pedometer, time-since-sighting
idea: meet other mobile location beacons estimate location based on third-party information
WiFi Location TrackingWiFi Location Tracking HP Labs Metro Project Signal Strength Location Tracking
Room-level accuracy Sniff client signal strength from multiple
monitors Triangulation difficult due to walls, multipath
effects Match signal strength signature of target locations Calibrate system by gathering signatures for each
location No client software required
But clients do have to transmit to be located
““Skiffs”Skiffs” Standard access points No client software “Skiff” monitors
