Abstract

Productivity is the main concern of today's IT enabled office environments. Besides other inter-related factors, the productivity of an individual or a group is mainly based upon the end user's tasks in a specific domain. These days, the end users' information management tasks are being performed semi-automatically. However, the record of the tasks maintained is insufficient for an exhaustive tracking and monitoring. This results in a situation where although the same tasks are repeatedly performed in parallel or in sequence by different users but the systems are unable to coordinate for helping the users for smooth and swift task execution. Task is part of the context and to track the task its conceptual model, that will be interconnected with other contextual components, is proposed. We propose ontology to realize the task model that will help in making an application to measure and increase one's productivity in the academic domain.
