In this paper we present the design of graphical user interfaces for end user tools in order for them to be able to configure pervasive awareness applications. These will help them keep in touch with close friends and family. A user-centered analysis was conducted, scenarios were developed and paper prototypes materialized in the form of storyboarding. The prototypes were evaluated by experts and proved that the interaction style and the metaphors used had specific constraints. Finally, conclusions based on this study were drawn.
