UbiTtention 2019 - 4th International Workshop on Smart & Ambient Notification and Attention Management

Users of digital devices are increasingly confronted with a tremendous amount of notifications that appear on multiple devices and screens in their environment. If a user owns a smartphone, a tablet, a smartwatch and a laptop and an email-client is installed on all of these devices an incoming email produces up to four notifications — one on each device. In the future we will receive notifications from all our ubiquitous devices. Therefore, we need an smart attention management for incoming notifications. One way for a less interrupting attention management could be the use of ambient representations of incoming notifications.
