In the contextual cueing paradigm, Endo and Takeda (in Percept Psychophys 66:293-302, 2004) provided evidence that implicit learning involves selection of the aspect of a structure that is most useful to one's task. The present study attempted to replicate this finding in artificial grammar learning to investigate whether or not implicit learning commonly involves such a selection. Participants...

Intention-aware systems integrate aspects of context-aware and attentionaware systems for the identification and support of intention. Focusing intention is justified by the impact of intention on awareness and interaction with the world. Therefore, proactive user support mechanisms can be improved by including a representation of intention. In this paper, the externalization of intention in ta...

Intention-Aware systems are introduced as a system class which enables user support based on intention detection. Thereby, intention-aware systems build on the user-centric support approach of attention-aware systems and the environmentcentric support approach of context-aware systems. A framework for intention-aware systems is proposed, highlighting the importance of a task model. We review 16...

As context-aware systems have grown in sophistication, they have adopted more complex contextual models. This paper steps back from the details of model contents and composition and investigates how personal and group models can be evaluated. A specific method is proposed that leverages the transition in the user’s cognitive state between “ready-at-hand” and “present-at-hand.”

Technological progress has made it possible to interact with computer systems and applications anywhere and any time. It is crucial that these applications are able to adapt to the user, as a person, and to its current situation, whatever that is. Contextual information and a mechanism to reason about it have demonstrated an important potential to provide solutions in this respect. This paper a...

In recent years data-aware systems have been proposed as a comprehensive framework to model complex business workflows by considering data and processes as equally relevant tenets of the system
