Managing Ubiquitous Connectivity: Mobile Media Flow Service Systems

Ubiquitous connectivity has fostered an unprecedented wave of mobile computing and communication applications. As the number of mobile applications grows exponentially, a crucial issue is how users will monitor and manage their media 'flows' to optimal levels. This means having 'requisite' levels of information and communication, while avoiding states of hyper-connectivity. Our research is focused on developing mobile applications that analyze users' multiple media flows. A dashboard interface then offers feedback to the user, who can adapt and modify her or his behavior for improved productivity and personal well-being.
