Through analyzing the literature, we have identified four major P3-System design techniques: People-Centered systems that use either absolute user location (e.g. Active Badge ) or user proximity (e.g. Hocman ) and Place-Centered systems based on either a representation of people’s use of physical spaces (e.g. ActiveMap ) or on a matching virtual space that 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.Text/Journal Article10.1007/s10606-004-2803-71573-7551
