ABSTRACT
Family members must communicate on a regular basis to plan and coordinate their everyday activities. They also have to sift through and stay aware of the many pieces of information that come into the home in relation to their everyday happenings. In this paper, we describe our design of the Family Board: a distributed system that provides a mean for family members to message one another and handle the incoming information that they must deal with on a daily basis. The system runs in a web browser and family members can share messages and information to mobile devices as well situated displays in the home. We expect that our system could help users communicate and share information with their family members better.
