EVALUATIONEvaluation of Concepts yielded the following Results
Concept 1 very efficient at finding organic contacts (contacts that are perceived as
important) But does not take time into account, e.g. an old friend with tons of old emails
can only slowly be topped by a new organic contact Concept 2
Not very efficient at finding organic contacts (irrelevant contacts can be on the top of the list, only due to lastmessage)
Concept 1 is more efficient than Concept 2 (Relevance estimation is more accurate)
A mixture of Concept 1 & Concept 2 is even more efficient Determine Score on the basis of all sent/received mails in a certain timespan

CONCLUSION&
TEST RESULTSSNAIL has been able to improve email usage
by making Emails faster to find Frequently contacted people easier to find Handle incoming mails by contact priority Showing Social graphing Connecting social networks to email
Users testing SNAIL have said That the contact rating is surprisingly accurate That it provides an interesting new concept of
writing & finding mails They like it because it integrates seamlessly into
their existing Outlook Clients

OUTLOOK
Evaluation of alternative sorting mechanisms may be done, considering Taking social contacts into account when calculating
score Manual biasing of score by the user (vote system)

GRAPH VISUALIZATIONShow Contact
relationships with an Interface
Use NodeXL for Visualization of Social Connections
Use ConnectedContact Property as Data

CONNECTING TOTHE CONTEXT FRAMEWORK
KOM – Multimedia Communications Lab
THE CONTEXT FRAMEWORK
Tracks a user’s activities
Gets informations from various sensors
Is accessed via XML RPC
KOM – Multimedia Communications Lab
XMLRPC
Requirement to interact with the context Framework
Consumption of XMLRPC services via C# Use XMLRPC.NET library
Create a proxy and define functions
Wire up to Outlook events and trigger XMLRPC calls
