The use of smart devices is increasing rapidly; this trend is changing
the paradigm in which notifications are delivered to users. Smart devices are
important to provide user awareness. However, their use must be controlled and
human perception should be considered to avoid information overload. In this
paper, we present a dynamic mechanism to coordinate the distribution of noti-
fication across smart devices. This personalized notification mechanism uses an
inference engine and a set of rules to generate notification alternatives and select
the “best” one. A continuous refinement approach is also used to improve
notification delivery. Our system was evaluated and the baseline rules were
established by 11 expert users. The main results show that in some scenarios, the
notification mechanism selection converged quickly and results are promising.
However, further work is required to provide not only personalized but integrated
(i.e., more than one device at the time) notification management.
