ASTRA project (http://www.astra-project.net) examines mediated interpersonal awareness, addressing the need to stay in touch
with family and friends or the need to be reassured regarding their well-being. Important
aspects of communication are examined, such as connectedness or plausible denial of
presence, with the ultimate aim to define a framework for supporting the design of
Pervasive Awareness systems intended to support social relationships. The framework
consists of:
1. A theory to guide the design and the evaluation of pervasive awareness systems for
supporting social communication.
2. Supporting technology (service oriented architecture, tools and applications that
support communities to appropriate Pervasive Awareness applications).
