Abstract

The awareness of group members is one crucial aspect in computer-mediated interaction. This paper presents a set of patterns that support groups in which one or more group members are currently away from the group. The patterns help the group to stay aware of the missing user and the user to keep up to date of what happens in the group. The patterns are part of a larger pattern collection for computer-mediated interaction.
