Abstract
Communication availability is closely connected to workspace awareness and requires intelligent filtering, especially in Groupware-Systems. This paper introduces a personalized adaptive communication availability agent, which is currently in the process of implementation. The agent monitors user behavior, predicts from there the current degree of user availability and then displays it in a virtual world using an avatar.1
