In this paper we describe a Mobile Instant Messaging system, MIM, designed for mobile environments. During design of mobile applications several new problems and possibilities have to be considered that do not exist with applications targeted at desktop PCs. One example of an application not designed for a mobile environment is current, very popular, instant messaging systems such as ICQ, AIM and MSN messenger. We describe why current systems are not suitable in a mobile environment and present our architecture for a new system, MIM, and show various implementations for different mobile devices such as PDAs, wearable computers and mobile phones.

Instant messaging bots

Stephen Chan, Benjamin Mako Hill, Sarita Yardi · 2005

Over the last several years, studies of instant messaging have observed its increasing role in the workplace[1] and in social situations[2]. We propose that modifying applications to interact with users over Instant Messaging (as IM bots) extends the collaborative benefits of IM into new areas. As IM Bots participating in group chatrooms, applications that had previously been restricted to a single user command line are able to engage in many to many interactions between users and applications. Current command line oriented user interfaces can be made into collaborative interfaces that exhibit (at a basic level) the ethnomethodological property of accountability as well as supporting legitimate peripheral participation.
