Designing Context-Aware Interactions for Task-Based Applications

Since contextual information has potential to improve task-based applications, we provide an approach for integrating contextual information in task-based applications by considering simplicity as a major design goal. We present a context-aware application to support mobile workflows focusing our solutions in three important factors to organize and manage tasks: priority, location and time. Following the simplicity guidelines, we provide solutions based on these factors by means of visualizations that allow users to complete their tasks fluently on the go.
