Abstract.
This special session at CHI contains six short papers that serve as snapshots of recent work by members and collaborators of the GroupLab team.

This paper introduces the session (#1), and other papers cover theoretical considerations of awareness (#3), practical efforts in building systems and widgets to support awareness (#2,4,5,) and evaluation of widgets to determine their effectiveness and usability (#6).
