Towards smart notification management in multi-device environments

Published: 04 September 2017 Publication History

Abstract

Notifications are a core feature of current smart devices and are used to proactively communicate with users. However, notifications are known to cause disruptive effects. With the increasing number of smart devices, these negative effects are multiplying. With mobile devices, like smartphones and smartwatches, being always connected and always with the users, it is necessary to find a balance between notifying users while respecting their attention. In this work, we provide an overview of our research on smart notification management in multi-device environments. We present our research questions, research conducted so far, and planned efforts. The expected outcomes are guidelines and models to manage notifications in multi-device environments.
