Focusing knowledge work with task context

.
Vancouver, BC, Canada, Canada, (2007)

Abstract

We propose to alleviate this problem by focusing the software applications a knowledge worker uses on the information relevant to the task-at-hand. We represent the information related to the task with a task context model in which the relevant elements and relations are weighted according to their frequency and recency of access. We define operations on task context to support tailoring the task context model to different kinds of knowledge work activities. We also describe task-focused user interface mechanisms that replace the structure-centric display of information with a task-centric one.
