Balancing Awareness and Interruption: Investigation of Notification Deferral Policies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review experiments with bounded deferral, a method aimed at reducing the disruptiveness of incoming messages and alerts in return for bounded delays in receiving information. Bounded deferral provides users with a means for balancing awareness about potentially urgent information with the cost of interruption.

متن کاملConsidering Costs of Interruption and Deferral in Routing Interpersonal Communications
We describe a prototype service that performs cost-benefit analysis about whether to route a phone call to a user versus reschedule the communication for later. The system balances the expected cost of interruption with the cost of deferral of a communication. We first present a decisiontheoretic perspective on the handling of interpersonal communications. Then, we describe a prototype system n...
