Ambient Notification Environments (Dagstuhl Seminar 17161)

Authors: Lewis Chuang, Sven Gehring, Judy Kay, and Albrecht Schmidt

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 7, Issue 4 (2018)

Abstract
Direct notifications are on the exponential rise. In our time, numerous personal computing devices and applications vie for limited attention, racing to deliver large amounts of information to us. This often results in users being overwhelmed by notifications and interruptions to their regular schedule, to whom a complete avoidance of technology seems to be the only viable option. In other words, the current approach for notification delivery is unsustainable and will not scale. In the Dagstuhl Seminar 17161 ``Ambient Notification Environments'' we brought together experts from different fields related to smart homes, ambient intelligence, human-computer interaction, activity recognition, and psychology to discuss a potential alternative approach: ambient notifications. We explored how ambient notifications can support people in their daily activities, by providing relevant information that are contextually embedded in the environment. The objective is to facilitate unobtrusive access to information at the right time and in the right place, hence reducing the disruptions and annoyances that are commonly associated with direct notifications. In this report, we present the numerous ideas and concepts of how the research community could strive toward towards realising ambient notifications. This is based on the presentations and activities conducted during the seminar. Overall, the community is in agreement that current approaches to notifications will not scale and that ambient notifications are a potential solution.

Augmenting Human Memory - Capture and Recall in the Era of Lifelogging (Dagstuhl Seminar 14362)

Authors: Mark Billinghurst, Nigel Davies, Marc Langheinrich, and Albrecht Schmidt

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 4, Issue 8 (2015)

Abstract
Recent developments in capture technology and information retrieval allow for continuous and automated recordings of many aspects of our everyday lives. By combining this with basic research in memory psychology, today's memory augmentation technologies may soon be elevated from a clinical niche application to a mainstream technology, initiating a major change in the way we use technology to remember and to externalize memory. Future capture technologies and corresponding control mechanisms will allow us to automate the acquisition of personal memories and subsequently trigger feedback of such memories through ambient large displays and personal mobile devices in order to aid personal memory acquisition, retention, and attenuation. The emergence of this new breed of memory psychology-inspired capture and recall technology will represent a radical transformation in the way we understand and manage human memory acquisition and recall. This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 14362 "Augmenting Human Memory - Capture and Recall in the Era of Lifelogging", which brought together 28 researchers from multiple disciplines both within computer science -- mobile computing, privacy and security, social computing and ethnography, usability, and systems research -- as well as from related disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and economics, in order to discuss how these trends are changing our existing research on capture technologies, privacy and society, and existing theories of memory.

Human Activity Recognition in Smart Environments (Dagstuhl Seminar 12492)

Authors: James L. Crowley, Kai Kunze, Paul Lukowicz, and Albrecht Schmidt

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 2, Issue 12 (2013)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 12492 "Human Activity Recognition in Smart Environments". We established the basis for a scientific community surrounding "activity recognition" by involving researchers from a broad range of related research fields. 30 academic and industry researchers from US, Europe and Asia participated from diverse fields including pervasive computing, over network analysis and computer vision to human computer interaction. The major results of this Seminar are the creation of a activity recognition repository to share information, code, publications and the start of an activity recognition book aimed to serve as a scientific introduction to the field. In the following, we go into more detail about the structure of the seminar, discuss the major outcomes and give an overview about discussions and talks given during the seminar.

10011 Report – Pervasive Public Displays

Authors: Nigel Davies, Antonio Krüger, Marc Langheinrich, Albrecht Schmidt, and Martin Strohbach

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10011, Pervasive Public Displays (2010)

Abstract
This Dagstuhl seminar has focused on bringing together researchers from a diverse set of fields of Computer Science to discuss the next generation of pervasive public display environments. The state-of-the-art in software control of display environments is best represented by commercial products that enable advance scheduling of content on a network of displays. Essentially such systems offer a traditional broadcast model based on linear playout of content and offer no support for user recognition or interaction with displays. Other display environments, e.g., in offices or conference centres, might simply run single, isolated applications, such as video conferencing or video players. In addition, current systems typically function as small isolated networks consisting of a limited number of displays under a single management domain (e.g. in a single shopping centre). In this respect, a parallel can be drawn with the state of computing prior to the invention of the Internet - machines were networked together in small clusters to facilitate resource sharing, control and communication but there were no mechanisms for interconnecting these networks.
