Abstract

Prior studies show that knowledge work is characterized by highly interlinked practices, including task, file and window management. However, existing personal information management tools primarily focus on a limited subset of knowledge work, forcing users to perform additional manual configuration work to integrate the different tools they use. In order to understand tool usage, we review literature on how users' activities are created and evolve over time as part of knowledge worker practices. From this we derive the activity life cycle, a conceptual framework describing the different states and transitions of an activity. The life cycle is used to inform the design of Laevo, a temporal activity-centric desktop interface for personal knowledge work. Laevo allows users to structure work within dedicated workspaces, managed on a timeline. Through a centralized notification system which doubles as a to-do list, incoming interruptions can be handled. Our field study indicates how highlighting the temporal nature of activities results in lightweight scalable activity management, while making users more aware about their ongoing and planned work.
Laevo:用于集成知识工作的临时桌面界面
先前的研究表明,知识工作的特点是高度相互关联的实践,包括任务、文件和窗口管理。然而,现有的个人信息管理工具主要关注有限的知识工作子集,迫使用户执行额外的手动配置工作来集成他们使用的不同工具。为了理解工具的使用,我们回顾了关于用户活动如何作为知识工作者实践的一部分被创建和发展的文献。由此我们推导出活动生命周期,这是一个描述活动的不同状态和转换的概念框架。生命周期用于通知Laevo的设计,Laevo是一个用于个人知识工作的以活动为中心的临时桌面界面。Laevo允许用户在专门的工作空间内组织工作,并按时间轴进行管理。通过一个集中的通知系统,它可以兼作待办事项列表,可以处理传入的中断。我们的实地研究表明,突出活动的时间性质如何导致轻量级的可伸缩活动管理,同时使用户更加了解他们正在进行的和计划中的工作。
