The advances of new technologies and the convergence of different communication media are changing not only our means and modes of communication with other people, but the notion of connectivity itself. ‘Presence’ awareness is becoming a key issue, facilitated by Instant Messaging applications, mobile phones, wireless handheld devices and location tracking. This report aims to identify the most important issues related to Instant Messaging and Presence enabled applications for wireless devices. Key developments, implementation problems, likely applications and benefits are analysed in this study.

Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
