• Contemporary computing systems are single-user and task-oriented• much work is collaborative• many applications and resources are used in an activity

• Handling parallel work and interruptions is hard• manual and metal overhead• resumption is difficult

• People think of their work in “activities”• not in terms of files, folders, documents, etc.

MotivationMotivation from previous research

Motivation

• to create computer support for human activities• for clinicians working in a hospital• managing

• multi-tasking ~ many parallel activities • mobility ~ in space and between devices• collaboration ~ coordination, communication• urgency ~ time-critical work

Computational Activity. An aggregation of services, resources, artifacts, and users that are relevant for a real world human activity.

Activity-Based Computing. A computing infrastructure, which supports users to create, save, manage, suspend, resume, move, share, and discover computational activities.

Activity-Based Computing

1. Activity-centered resource aggregation2. Activity suspension and resumption3. Activity roaming4. Activity sharing5. Activity awareness

Activity-Based Computing Principles

Activity-Based Computing

1. Activity-centered resource aggregation

10-04-23 · 10

• Supports handling the huge data sets in clinical work

• An Activity integrates related services and data

Activity-Based Computing

• Supports handling many concurrent work activities, multi-tasking, and many different patient cases

• An Activity can be suspended and later resumed

2. Activity suspension and resumption

10-04-23 · 11

Activity-Based Computing

•Supports the mobile nature of clinical work•An Activity can be resumed “anywhere”

3. Activity roaming

10-04-23 · 12

Activity-Based Computing

•Supports the collaborative nature of clinical work

•An Activity has a set of participants who can work on it taking turns or at the same time

4. Activity Sharing

10-04-23 · 13

Activity-Based Computing

• Supports the physical nature of clinical work• An activity is aware of the users’ real world

Experiments and Evaluation

10-04-23 · 20

• Scenario-based evaluation• clinical work• in a simulated hospital ward

• ABC-aware clinical applications• medicine schema, record, patients, charts, images, ...

• Scenarios• morning conference, ward round, follow-up, radiology

conference, medicine administration
