| Lecture 17 - Paying Attention to Interruption: A Human-Centered Approach |
Lecture by Brian Bailey. Proactive computing offers many desired benefits to users, such as enabling a high degree of awareness of peripheral information. However, notifications from proactive systems run the serious risk of interrupting users' tasks at inopportune moments, decreasing performance and increasing frustration. In this talk, Brian discusses his ongoing empirical and systems development work aimed at maintaining timely delivery of notifications while reducing costs of interruption.
