Interruptibility research: Opportunities for future flourishment

As users enjoy their computing with an increasing number of devices, applications and services, and connected other users, users' attention is getting the most precious resource in computing due to increasing information fragments provided proactively. Research on user's attention management and especially interruptibility have been accelerated in the recent years. After clarifying some recent background computing trends, this paper focuses on those researches areas, specifies several possible opportunities in the area, and proposes 3 key future opportunities that include being a layer and platform, communication with industries, and intersection with research areas. This paper aims to motivate active discussion on how we can make our research flourish in rather longer term.
