ASTRA aims to define a framework for supporting the conception and the design of Pervasive Awareness systems, specifically those that are intended to support social relationships. This will consist of theories and technological solutions, addressing the two aims of the project:

• To develop a theory to guide the design and evaluation of pervasive awareness systems supporting social use
• To develop supporting technology (a service oriented architecture, tools and applications) that support communities to create, adapt and appropriate Pervasive Awareness systems.
