“…In consequence, several studies (2005 [56], 2008 [57], and 2012 [58]) have created IM prototypes for mobile devices. Their usability tests noted problems related to the Nielsen heuristic "visibility of system status" (quite similar to our heuristic A), with issues characterized by the need of the user to visualize availability indicators (user status) and message transmission indicators (delivery information).…”

Nowadays, instant messaging applications (apps) are one of the most popular applications for mobile devices with millions of active users. However, mobile devices present hardware and software characteristics and limitations compared with personal computers. Hence, to address the usability issues of mobile apps, a specific methodology must be conducted. This paper shows the findings from a systematic analysis of these applications on iOS mobile platform that was conducted to identify some usability issues in mobile applications for instant messaging. The overall process includes a Keystroke-Level Modeling and a Mobile Heuristic Evaluation. In the same trend, we propose a set of guidelines for improving the usability of these apps. Based on our findings, this analysis will help in the future to create more effective mobile applications for instant messaging.

“…These two projects resemble our work in the aspect of automatic interpretation of context presence, but they did not attempt to define a vocabulary of presence, and the sharing of presence remains unitary. Perttunen et al propose to utilize both the initiator's and the recipient's contexts in inferring presence [25] [26], which is similar to our SIM's support for user willingness. However, their work has not done anything about the need to enlarge the presence vocabulary.…”

Abstract-This work envisions the benefits of applying the Instant Messaging (IM) paradigm in pervasive computing environments. With IM in such an environment, all smart entities, human or not, can interact using IM as the unified interface. To realize this vision, the design of a Smart Instant Messaging (SIM) system is proposed, which features context-aware presence management, user-centric resource configuration, and adaptive grouping. This system extends the Jabber-based IM framework and relies on an ontology-based supporting middleware to handle the chore of retrieving and interpreting contextual information. Three prototype versions of a client have been implemented and their performance in terms of memory usage and response time is evaluated.

In mobile networking, the use of context information in a versatile manner is emerging. Context information, which characterizes the situation of an entity, provides ease of use in mobile devices with limited input and output capabilities. A mobile peer-to-peer navigation application uses context information to verify this statement. It acts as a graphical user interface for group-based context-aware communication and as an enabler of inter-application cooperation. It uses an intelligent application platform for distributing context information. The analytical results consist of quantitative evaluation, involving functional testing and delay analysis, and a qualitative evaluation, involving user testing. The concepts of group-based context distribution and interapplication cooperation were found functional and useful.
