Abstract

Presence and Instant Messa in (PIM) applications are a very popular - if not the most popular - type of Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE). Current presence technology in PIM applications can only answer people-oriented presence queries such as "Who is online?", hich may not suffice for use of PIM applications in the orkplace. In this poster, we explore more sophisticated, place-based presence systems that can also answer place-oriented presence queries, such as "Who is near?".
