Digital systems, such as phones, computers and PDAs, place
continuous demands on our cognitive and perceptual systems. They
offer information and interaction opportunities well above our
processing abilities, and often interrupt our activity. Appropriate
allocation of attention is one of the key factors determining the
success of creative activities, leaing, collaboration, and many
other human pursuits. This book presents research related to human
attention in digital environments. Original contributions by
leading researchers cover the conceptual framework of research
aimed at modelling and supporting human attentional processes, the
theoretical and software tools currently available, and various
application areas. The authors explore the idea that attention has
a key role to play in the design of future technology and discuss
how such technology may continue supporting human activity in
environments where multiple devices compete for people's limited
cognitive resources.
