presence awareness

Software developers say they can design presence awareness systems to accommodate both those who seek privacy and those who want constant contact.

"Presence Awareness Indicators - Where Are You Now?"

That is the idea behind a programming concept called presence awareness, which is based on the realization that appliances on a network can automatically be detected by other devices.

Asterisk can also be configured to support Bluetooth-based presence awareness, meaning that you could pair your Bluetooth phone with the PC in your office.

QuickPlace also integrates with IBM Lotus Sametime providing presence awareness of other users online and available for conferencing.

It has a variety of features, such as instant messaging, presence awareness, support for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), file transfer, application sharing and whiteboarding.

The list, which allows users to see those on their list appear and disappear online, gave instant messaging what industry analysts like to call "presence awareness" and shaped the technology as a playful social tool.

The Lab develops Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) infrastructure and features of real-time collaboration, including session management, presence awareness, subscriptions and notifications, text messaging, developer toolkits, and mobile real-time messaging infrastructure.

Beginning with Release 6.5 this functionality is built into IBM Notes as a no-cost entitlement, with presence awareness is available in email and other IBM Domino applications for users in organizations that use both IBM Notes and IBM Sametime.
