Title
Proactive scheduling for situated displays
Subject
Proactive scheduling Situated displays Context-awareness Public displays Utility theory
Public situated displays can represent an important mechanism to
enhance users’ experiences and reflect the information and the interactions
associated with their environment and the people on it. However, this type of
embodiment requires the display system to be able to perform unassisted
scheduling based on the current state of the environment in which it is
integrated. In this paper, we explore this problem domain and the various ways
in which it can be approached. This analysis is organised around three main
parts of this problem: which dynamic information to consider, how to introduce
domain knowledge for enabling rational choices and how to model the
scheduling process itself. We also describe our own approach to these issues, a
context-sensitive MAUT scheduler that selects the next item to be presented by
determining the one with the highest utility considering the current context of
the display.
