.... effective subsets from larger populations) 4) often intersect (which implies that CSCW researchers should develop techniques to manage multiple collaborative contexts, including mechanisms to control the dissemination of information in accordance with policies that might conflict) MacKay [13] highlights another key to success when she identifies the importance for mechanisms that enable people to control who can see or hear them at any time and to know when someone is seeing or hearing them. MacKay also discusses a critical issue surrounding interaction and interruption. ....

....and natural extensions of the local environment, as communicative surfaces to coworkers at distant places The question is in line with the research tradition of Media Spaces [2] of video and audio connections that enable for people to work and to be together at a distance. As Mackay points out [7] Media Space refers to a special way of embedding the technology in the social environment and can include a variety of forms of communication. Technically, Media Space refers to a continually open video and audio connection, a technology which, of course, can be used for a variety of purposes, ....

.... chats outside of official meeting rooms that important information is transmitted and real decisions are made [6] Recognizing the importance of these spontaneous informal interactions among co located people working together, a number of research labs have proposed systems such as Media Spaces [12] that are specifically designed to support them over time and distance. Media Spaces and similar research projects are specifically tailored to a particular group of people through long term use and iterative refinement. Video conferencing systems, on the other hand, are available to users in a ....

....the system is greater than that in a comparable face to face situation. Media Spaces were originally designed to model the informal types of communication that occur in hallways and in commons areas, reestablishing the possibility of informal communication for people located apart from each other [12]. Since the early work at Xerox PARC [2] and EuroPARC [23] and the similar Cruiser [3] system of BellCore, a number of other systems have been developed to support a wider range of informal interactions [13, 5, 21, 17] These systems showed in particular that high fidelity is not necessary when ....

....creates the auditory illusion for each member that its users share a common acoustic space. 23] An audio space is a subtype of the traditional media space, which typically provides audio and video streams [3] Much research work has been devoted to the traditional media space, as shown in [3, 7, 14], but little work has focused purely on connecting separated users in a common audio space. Most previous studies involved stationary spaces in the workplace or school environment where audio and video equipment could be used to monitor a physical space. The mobile nature of this thesis requires ....

....audio and video with computers to support coordination, communication and collaboration among distributed groups. For more than ten years, research has explored the social and technical issues raised by these environments, such as privacy concerns, long term use or appliance and service design [2, 3]. Technically, a mediaspace consists of a group of offices and public spaces connected through an audio video network. Early mediaspaces used an analog network. Standard cameras and monitors were connected to a computer controllable crossbar switch [4, 5, 6] A typical node in an office had a ....
