Abstract

We present a study exploring the promise of developing computational systems to support the discovery and execution of opportunistic activities in mobile settings. We introduce the challenge of mobile opportunistic planning, describe a prototype named Mobile Commodities, and focus on the construction and use of probabilistic user models to infer the cost of time required to execute opportunistic plans.
