Ambient Intelligence (AmI) promotes a world in which almost every device has computational capabilities. Such devices will allow a natural user interaction with the digital world. In addition, in several contexts developers have used smart devices to gather information of the user and provide notifications. The system consists of three main modules: one for data collection, one for analysis and decision-making, and one information deploying. More importantly, we conducted a questionnaire and the used the results as basic rules for the decision-making module on the system. The questionnaire had 60 respondents.

Notifications represent a key element in smart devices. In fact, a device could be considered {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}smart{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} if it is able to provide different type of messages or notifications to the users. In this way, people who use smart devices receive a significant number of notifications daily. However, how many notifications can a user receive and attend daily? If the number of notifications increases a lot, it is possible that the user experience decrease. In this article, a study is carried out on the level of user{\textquoteright}s satisfaction related to the number of notifications received in different smart devices. To achieve this goal, a survey was applied taking into consideration the following devices: smart speaker, smart fridge, smart TV, smart watch, smart phone, and car{\textquoteright}s integrated computer system. The study comprises the participation of 439 people from 8 countries.

In a collaborative writing session one of the most important activities is the notification to all the collaborators about changes in documents (data awareness). In this paper we propose the use of an augmented object as the mechanism to notify changes in shared documents. In this way, collaborators can be aware of modifications even if they are not in front of the computer. A prototype was implemented and evaluated. The augmented object prototype can be used with the Google Docs suite, which permits the collaborators to work in a distributed and asynchronous way.
