Abstract

This paper presents Crystal Presence (CrysP) approach wher- e we fuse presence and activity in the realm of social networking. CrysP functions on the basis of the activity-infused multi-faceted presence information. This information is derived from user’s involvement in multiple activities at any point in time. We propose and develop the CrysP System (CrysPSys) to determine CrysP from the user and his/her environmental context information (mainly relating to user activity, moods/emotions and cognition/thoughts) and then sharing the relevant CrysP with the appropriate devices, services and social-networks (corporate, personal and interest networks) and blogs (text, micro, video, photo and voice). We also highlight the benefits and challenges faced in developing such a system. This paper proposes the architecture and its test-bed and prototype implementation.
