Abstract
This chapter will discuss the Connector service. The goal was to build a mobile communication system that could help people better manage the risk of untimely interruptions in an always-on world, where we can reach each other anytime and anyplace. In an iterative process of design, we have developed technologies that intelligently and nondisruptively integrate into human communication processes.
