Resource Readings in Media Spaces and Related Topics

Here are a variety of papers on this topic. There is some repetition, and there are certainly a few good papers missing. But its a start to your research into this area! Note that the topic categories are broad (inaccurate) indicators.

Look in my office library: I have lots of books/proceedings on CSCW that may have related articles

Check the web site: www.hcibib.org --- this HCI bibliography has lots of articles (try doing a search on privacy), with many accessible on-line if you are an ACM Digital Library member.

Look at the work on ambient displays (by Hiroshi Ishii), as its relevant to this topic.

Ask me for the recent work by Hideaki Kuzuoka and myself, the red light/green light system (SIGCHI Bulletin) and the apple awareness server.
