Key themes
• Quality experiences: ownership + focus + timetabled exercises + ‘breakout’ sessions
• ‘Pure presence’ appeals to users• ‘Dots on maps’ can scale up…• … by filtering + smart clustering algorithm• One-dimensional ‘buddy list’ evolves to a
multidimensional ‘Buddy Space’• Peripheral/powerful indicators of presence

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”)• Characteristics (“Translate to French”)• Location (“I’m in Munich… urgent calls only”)

Massive/enriched presence
• Crowds: massive scale as asset rather than liability.
• 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.

Semantic Filters: CoAKTinGCollaborative Advanced Knowledge Technologies in the Grid
• Elli is unable to attend a videomeeting but wants to be informed...
• She checks her client, and sees one query from the argumentation engine pending…
• She also sees that only one signature remains outstanding for a new bid

CoAKTinG (2)• Elli checks the transcript in the argumentation engine to find
the origins of the pending query
• … she was referred to by Felix (a colleague) during the missed videomeeting
