This paper provides an overview of a doctoral research project which
focuses in developing a framework to allow smart device-based notifications to
provide user awareness. Notifications are mechanisms by which the user’s atten‐
tion is driven to specific tasks or events. Notifications should provide a balance
between intrusiveness and value in order to avoid annoyed users. The results
reported in this paper include 50 % of the overall results expected for the project.
The first step was to conduct a systematic literature review assessing the use of
smart devices to deliver notifications, the second step was the development of a
framework to allow notification coordination among smart devices and the third
result is a laboratory case study assessing the framework. Future work includes
two case studies in real scenarios and further analysis of usage patterns identified
during this research.
