Coordinating communication: awareness displays and interruption
In this paper, we describe a laboratory experiment to determine whether peripheral awareness information about a remote collaborator's workload aids in timing interruptive communication. Our results indicate that a display with an representation of a collaborator's workload is best in that it leads to better timing of interruptions without overwhelming the interrupter. Keywords Interruption, awareness, computer-mediated communication, instant messaging
