Abstract

We describe OwnTime, a system for facilitating timespace management, and discuss the results of a user study comparing the disruptiveness of meeting establishment without and with the system. The study indicates that the OwnTime system shows potential for improving users' time management. We also raise relevant issues about computer mediation in traditionally interpersonal tasks and note further work to be done in areas such as context-aware and wearable computing.
