Intention Awareness: A Vision Declaration and Illustrating Scenarios

This is a position paper that introduces intention awareness (IA) as a counterfactual approach for designing IA technologies. The approach distinguishes human intention as a premise for developing intention-aware systems. Intention-aware technologies utilise information about the user´s intentions to improve the services that are provided by the environment. The paper will initially define intention awareness as a concept, and subsequently introduce four scenarios that illustrate the approach.
