Activity rhythm detection and modeling

MatchBase: a development suite for efficient context-aware communication

“…The analysis of activity and location rhythms is described in [1,12] and focused on the detection of recurring periods of inactivity and location transition. The presented algorithm detected when a person usually arrived at the workplace, had lunch, or left the office.…”

Use and Implications of a Shared, Forecasting Calendar

“…However, groupware tools that are used to facilitate and mediate informal communication are less useful when people become increasingly mobile or have more flexible schedules. In response, researchers have undertaken projects that make use of new advances in activity sensing and machine intelligence to arrive at inferences about current or future availability and/or location [4,8,11,12,15]. In most cases, they are intended to foster better informal communication in the workplace.…”
