Abstract
A system, method and computer readable medium for presence driven communication contacts of presentities in a presence server in a presence system comprises searching a relational directory for a sought individual, scanning the relational directory for at least one individual associated with the sought individual, determining a presence state of the sought individual, and discovering a presence state of the associated individual if the sought individual is unavailable.

A method for presence driven communication contacts, comprising:
- searching a directory for a sought individual's name;
- scanning the directory for a manager of the sought individual's name;
- surveying the directory for a direct report of the sought individual's name;
- determining a presence state via a first input to a network connection through an electronic device to a presence service, the electronic device comprising at least one second processor and a memory in which is received the presence state, of a sought individual associated with the sought individual's name if the sought individual is unavailable;
- discovering a presence state via a second input to the network connection to the presence service to determine presentity of the manager of the sought individual if the sought individual is unavailable;
- and
- ascertaining via an output, as determined by the first input and the second input to the presence service, a presence state of the direct report of the sought individual if the sought individual is unavailable.
A system for presence driven communication contacts, comprising:
- a memory adapted to receive, via a network connection to a presentation service, at least one of:
- a presence state of a sought individual, a presence state of a manager of the sought individual and a presence state of a direct report of the sought individual;
- and
- a first processor communicably coupled to the memory, the first processor adapted to:
- agglomerate the presence states of the sought individual, the presence state of the manager of the sought individual and the presence state of the direct report of the sought individual;
- prioritize a display of the agglomerated presence states;
- link the agglomerated presence states of the sought individual, the presence state of the manager of the sought individual and the presence state of direct report of the sought individual;
- and
- store the linked presence states in the memory, wherein the first processer can transmit the presence states of the sought individual from the memory via the network connection to the presentation service.
