Notification-oriented computer interfaces are growing in importance, as is our understanding of how users manage interruptions. To gain insights relevant to the design of such interfaces, this study explored telephone call screening as a common example of how people manage technology

The rapid development of information technologies and the Internet has enabled cultural heritage and public organizations to provide access to their collections not only through physical displays but also online, and attract even wider audiences than those that visit the physical museums. Additionally, various trends on Web 2.0 allow for users not only to be passive consumers, but also active participants. Personalization capitalizes on a user-centered intelligent interactive information exchange between museum websites or museum guide systems and visitors. The museum monologue turns into a dialog, and personalization enables a new communication strategy based on a continuous process of interaction, collaboration, learning and adaptation between the museum and its visitors. Personalization could improve the interaction and experience of visitors on museum websites and with museum guide systems by supporting visitors ' navigation and assisting them in quickly finding an appropriate starting point, and in discovering new relevant information. The PATCH workshop has previously been held twice: at the User Modelling (UM 2007) and Adaptive Hypermedia (AH 2008) Conferences. By hosting the workshop at the Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) Conference in 2011, we aim at addressing to a greater extent the issues related to

Interruption management has received a good deal of attention from researchers, but this work has not had a substantial impact on real-world applications. This paper examines the factors associated with interruption management in web-based systems (a highly restricted class of environments

describe the design and implementation of our interruption management system, showing how it can be used to specify and monitor practical, representative user tasks. We discuss our ongoing empirical work in this area, and how the use of our framework may enable attention aware systems to consider a user’s

systems. This paper proposes the architecture of a system named Mobile Intelligent Interruptions Management (MIIM), created for the automated administration of personal unavailability with regard to cell phones. We provide the problem description of interruption and its impact. Next, we state

Real-time scheduling algorithms like RMA or EDF and their corresponding schedulability test have proven to be powerful tools for developing predictable real-time systems. However, the traditional interrupt man-agement model presents multiple inconsistencies that break the assumptions of many

IM at work report being interrupted less frequently than non-users, and they engage in more frequent computer-mediated communication than non-users, including both work-related and personal communication. These results are consistent with claims that employees use IM in ways that help them to manage

Previous research has suggested that providing informative cues about interrupting stimuli aids management of multiple tasks. However, auditory and visual cues can be ineffective in certain situations. The objective of the present study was to explore whether attention-directing tactile cues aid

the positive and negative consequences of interruption types. This poster describes strategies and artifacts for managing interruptions across various applications and media, revealed during ethnographic interviews of office workers in a large software company. Results show complex patterns of problems

As multi-core and SMP systems become more gener-ally available, energy management needs in LinuxTM have also become more complex. Energy management in Linux was primarily designed for interactive sys-tems where relatively simple inactivity based strategies worked effectively for most cases. Modern
