👉 Attended computing, also known as Retrieval-Aware Computing or Contextual Computing, is a paradigm that integrates real-time contextual information and user intent into the computing process to enhance user experience. This approach leverages data from various sources, including sensors, user interactions, environmental factors, and external knowledge bases, to dynamically adapt computing services and interfaces. By continuously attending to the current context, systems can provide more relevant, personalized, and efficient responses, improving productivity and user satisfaction. For example, a smart assistant might adjust its recommendations based on the time of day, location, or ongoing tasks, ensuring that the information and assistance it provides are timely and pertinent.
