In this paper, we introduce SCACS, a Social Context-Aware Communication System that facilitates face-to-face communications between old-timers and newcomers in a research community. SCACS provides users with information on coauthor relationships collocutors have in order to help users understand collocutors' research background and relations to own. While the system works so as to help newcomers get better understandings on the research community by meeting old-timers---central to the community, it also works to recruit newcomers who might bring new ideas and research topics, in order to make the community sustainable. One of the contributions of the paper is to show an example of a fusion of social networking and ubiquitous computing technologies, which have attracted a considerable amount of attentions in the last few years. In contrast to exploiting social interactions in real world to enhance experiences of social networking services in virtual world, SCACS collects information on social networks (e.g., coauthor relationships networks) from virtual spaces (that is, databases), and then visualizes them to facilitate face-to-face communications among people in physical environments through using wearable interfaces. Instead of providing users with complex social network graphs, SCACS transforms network graphs into tree maps so that users are able to better understand the community.
