| Abstract;It is expected that new collaboration services become popular in our daily life with new ubiquitous computing technologies. For more efficient collaboration, we propose "Ubistyle", that make use of sensor-network and mobile-computing technologies. Presences in Ubistyle, which include locations and status of people, status of objects, and so forth, are collected automatically by sensors, analyzed and converted to the form that people can understand, and are shared among users. In order to evaluate the usefulness of the concept of Ubistyle, we implemented a prototype system for office environments. The system offers a service that the office workers can refer the locations and status of co-workers and meeting rooms as presence. We carried out a large-scale experiment in our office, in which more than 160 people are involved. We found that the service is of advantage for both the contact to co-workers and reservation of meeting rooms. We also analyzed the acceptability of people to expose their presence to co-workers.
