Exploiting task-document relations in support of information retrieval in the workplace
2008
SIGIR Forum
Existing systems are designed to retrieve information that is relevant to the query, but are not capable of identifying information that is well-suited to the context and situation of a search. ...
Increasingly, workplace information seeking takes place in digital information environments and is reliant upon search systems. ...
However, these three approaches to IR are not discrete, as the contextual approach represents an attempt to both integrate and extend the user-centred and system-centred approaches. ...

How well do software assistants for minimally invasive partial nephrectomy meet surgeon information needs? A cognitive task analysis and literature review study
2019
PLoS ONE
Within the user-centred development process of such systems, the first question to be asked is: What information does the surgeon need and when does he or she need it? ...
In this article, we present an approach to investigate these surgeon information needs for minimally invasive partial nephrectomy and compare these needs to the relevant surgical computer assistance literature ...
Acknowledgments We extend our sincere thanks to the nine senior urologists who volunteered their scarce time to participate in the interview study and who, thereby, made this research possible. ...

Characterization and Prediction of Mobile Tasks
2022
ACM Transactions on Information Systems
Existing mobile systems handle mostly simple user needs, where a single app is taken as the unit of interaction. ...
To provide a comprehensive picture of common mobile tasks, we first conduct a small-scale user study to understand annotated mobile tasks in-depth while we demonstrate that by using a set of features ( ...
