Abstract
Managing the various capabilities of computing environments to best support users’ goals has proven a difficult problem in transportation systems and hand-held devices. In the case of mobile users, the goal of safe and efficient navigation is a persistent part of the users’ context and therefore in the online decisions on what information and services to provide. We present a feasibility test of general methods for measuring and predicting actors’ goal-directed performance, and outline their use in effecting decisions with regard to initiating and halting interactions with users, anticipation of users’ needs, and the evaluation of Ambient Intelligence designs.
