Although myriad extraordinary benefits have resulted from the web and expanding network connectivity, the intertwining of computers with virtually every aspect of life also brings a growing stream of interruptions. These interruptions and the fragmenting of activity they produce are increasingly accepted parts of modern life. A critical research challenge for human-centered computing is how to smooth and mitigate the impact of interruptions as well as assist in resuming interrupted activities. Meeting this challenge will require moving beyond the traditional document-centric view of information to address the complexity of real activity, its often fragmented history, and the need to access information arrayed across digital and paper media.This project will explore the design of systems that will allow people to exploit visual and episodic memory to benefit from the capture of the history and context of their computer-mediated activities. The heart of the project is rethinking the nature of data as stored in computers from being a state to being an inspectable activity history of interaction that can be presented to users. Activity-enriched computing has the potential to reshape how we use computers by creating systems that react to and are augmented by the history of past events, changing the computer environment to one in which history is always available to assist if needed. The primary scientific contributions will be to (a) develop an activity-enriched computing framework for designing a new class of systems in which history is a first-class element, (b) prototype and evaluate activity-enriched applications, and (c) extend theory and methods for representing, visualizing, and analyzing activity histories. Scientific contributions will include a novel activity-enriched computing framework that will (a) capture the rich detail of computer-mediated activity, (b) identify and make meaningful and useful episodes available, (c) link the worlds of paper and digital documents, and (d) exploit summarization and visual access mechanisms to support navigation of activity histories and ease resuming interrupted activities. The overarching objective is to lessen the impact of interruptions and aid reestablishment of context.Broader Impacts: The broader impacts of the proposed activity include the potential to radically improve the efficacy of all computer-mediated activities. The results of the project and the software developed will be widely disseminated and made available on the project website. Additional impact will result from training students in the interdisciplinary approach required to design activity-enriched computing applications, providing research opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate students. A long-term impact will be to crystallize a research community to further develop and evolve activity-enriched computing.

尽管众多的非凡好处是由网络和扩展的网络连接造成的，但与生活的各个方面相互交织，也带来了越来越多的中断流。 这些中断和产生的活动破碎是现代生活的越来越多的部分。 以人为本计算的重要研究挑战是如何平滑和减轻中断的影响以及有助于恢复中断活动。 应对这一挑战将需要超越传统的以文档为中心的信息观点，以解决实际活动的复杂性，通常是零散的历史以及访问在数字和纸质媒体上存放的信息的需求。该项目将探索系统的设计，这些系统将使人们利用视觉和情节记忆以从对计算机介绍活动的历史和上下文中受益。 该项目的核心是重新思考数据中存储的数据的性质，从作为状态到可以呈现给用户的可检查活动历史。 富含活动的计算有可能通过创建对过去事件的历史做出反应和增强的系统来重塑我们如何使用计算机，从而将计算机环境更改为历史记录时始终可用的系统。 主要的科学贡献将是（a）开发一个富含活性的计算框架，用于设计新的系统，其中历史是一流的元素，（b）原型和评估富含活动的应用程序，以及（c）扩展了代表，可视化和分析活动历史的理论和方法。 Scientific contributions will include a novel activity-enriched computing framework that will (a) capture the rich detail of computer-mediated activity, (b) identify and make meaningful and useful episodes available, (c) link the worlds of paper and digital documents, and (d) exploit summarization and visual access mechanisms to support navigation of activity histories and ease resuming interrupted activities. 总体目标是减轻中断的影响和有助于重新建立上下文的影响。Broader的影响：拟议活动的更广泛影响包括从根本上提高所有计算机介导的活动的功效的潜力。 项目和开发的软件的结果将被广泛传播，并在项目网站上提供。 培训学生以设计富含活动的计算应用所需的跨学科方法，为研究生和本科生提供研究机会所需的额外影响。 长期的影响是使研究界结晶以进一步发展和发展富含活动的计算。
