Abstract
Everyday family life involves a myriad of mundane activities that
need to be planned and coordinated. We describe findings from studies of 44
different families coordination routines to understand how to best design
technology to support them. We outline how a typology of calendars containing
family activities is used by three different types of families Monocentric,
Pericentric, and Polycentric which vary in the level of family involvement in
the calendaring process. We describe these family types, the content of family
calendars, the ways in which they are extended through annotations and
augmentations, and the implications from these findings for design.
