- Abstract
In this paper we examine an emerging class of systems that linkPeople-to-People-to-Geographical-Places; we call theseP3-Systems. Through analyzing the literature, we have identified four major P3-System design techniques:People-Centeredsystems that use eitherabsolute user location(e.g.Active Badge) oruser proximity(e.g.Hocman) andPlace-Centeredsystems based on either a representation of people’suse of physical spaces(e.g.ActiveMap) or on amatching virtual spacethat enables online interaction linked to physical location (e.g.Geonotes). In addition, each feature can be instantiated synchronously or asynchronously. The P3-System framework organizes existing systems into meaningful categories and structures the design space for an interesting new class of potentially context-aware systems. Our discussion of the framework suggests new ways of understanding and addressing the privacy concerns associated with location aware community system and outlines additional socio-technical challenges and opportunities.
