Introduction
Outline of Talk
30-01-15 · 3
• 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.
Motivation
Motivation from previous research
30-01-15 · 4
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

Activity-Based Computing Principles
30-01-15 · 9
Activity-Based Computing
1. Activity-centered resource aggregation
30-01-15 · 10
• Supports handling the huge data sets in clinical
work
• An Activity integrates related services and data
• 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
30-01-15 · 11
Activity-Based Computing
•Supports the mobile nature of clinical work
•An Activity can be resumed “anywhere”
3. Activity roaming
30-01-15 · 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
30-01-15 · 13
Activity-Based Computing
• Supports the physical nature of clinical work
• An activity is aware of the users’ real world
activity context

Editor's Notes

  1. The aim of activity-based computing is precisely to help users to manage the complex set of actions, tools, materials, resources, and people involved in an activity by introducing an explicit representation of the activity into the computer system.
  2. The principle of activity-centered resource aggregation simply states that activity-based computing needs to support this bundling of relevant resources and services. In hospitals where a great number of electronic medical systems are used, a given activity might, for example, encompass the electronic patient record (EPR), access to lab request applications, medical images, lab results, medical observations such as blood pressure, etc. These services and resources may come from many different sources but all are part of a single activity, which is what gives them meaning to the clinicians involved.
  3. In activity-based computing, the term “activity awareness” denotes the principle that the computer system maintains information about the users’ real-world activities. This awareness is used to give the user easy access to appropriate resources and tools. Links between particular activities and work contexts can be created to facilitate resumption of relevant activities.
  4. In this article we have presented the principles, design, and evaluation of activity-based computing support for hospital work. The principles of activity-based computing have emerged through ongoing collaboration with clinicians working in large hospitals. Studies and design sessions with these clinicians pointed to a set of challenges associated with the use of computers in hospital work.
