A Context-Aware Personal Desktop Assistant (Demo Paper)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate an intelligent personal assistant agent that has been developed to aid a busy knowledge worker in managing time commitments and performing tasks. The PExA agent draws on a diverse set of AI technologies that are linked within the SPARK BDI agent framework. We focus on our agent’s ability to provide assistance within the context of current user activities, based on its recognition of user workflows and their progress, and on its contextsensitive proactive suggestions. We have instrumented a common suite of desktop applications so that, endowed with a sophisticated workflow tracker, PExA has the ability to pervasively monitor the user’s desktop activities. PExA follows and responds to the user’s progress on shared tasks, and is highly user-centric in its support for user needs and its adaptivity to user working style and preferences.

A User-Centric, Resource-Aware, Context-Sensitive, Multi-Device Application Framework for Ubiquitous Computing Environments
Ubiquitous computing challenges the conventional notion of a user logged into a personal computing device, whether it is a desktop, a laptop, or a digital assistant. When the physical environment of a user contains hundreds of networked computer devices each of which may be used to support one or more user applications, the notion of personal computing becomes inadequate. Further, when a group ...
متن کاملDEMO: Semantic eInk – Pen and Paper-based Interaction with the Semantic Desktop
In this demo we present a system which recognizes and interprets the semantics of handwritten annotations on printed documents. The semantic information is sent to the Semantic Desktop, the personal Semantic Web on the desktop computer, which supports users in their information management. This allows a seamless integration of interactive paper into the individual knowledge work. The current im...
متن کاملContext-aware Search for Personal Information Management Systems
With the fast growth of disk capacity in personal computers, keyword search over personal data (a.k.a. desktop search) is becoming increasingly important. Nonetheless, desktop search has been shown to be more challenging than traditional Web search. Modern commercial Web search engines heavily rely on structural information (i.e., hyperlinks betweenWeb pages) to rank their search results. Howev...
متن کاملDemo Abstract: Semantic Annotation of paper-based Information
The demo shows how a user is easily able to semantically annotate and enrich scanned documents with concepts from his personal knowledge space. This bridges the gap between paper documents and the approach of a Semantic Desktop, where each information object on the user’s computer desktop is semantically described by means of ontologies.

This paper presents our Context-aware Mobile Assistant Project (C-MAP). C-MAP is an attempt to build a personal mobile assistant that provides visitors touring exhibitions with information based on their locations and individual interests. We have prototyped the first version of the mobile assistant and used an open house exhibition held by our research laboratory as a testbed. The mobile assis...
