Distributed Cognition: Toward a New Foundation for Human-Computer Interaction Research

by James Hollan, Edwin Hutchins, David Kirsh - ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction , 2000
"... We are quickly passing through the historical moment when people work in front of a single computer, dominated by a small CRT and focused on tasks involving only local information. Networked computers are becoming ubiquitous and are playing increasingly significant roles in our lives and in the basi ..."

A work environment for digital library of historical resource

by Dion Goh, Lin Fu, Schubert Foo - In Proceedings of fifth International Conference of Asian Digital Libraries , 2002
"... Abstract. A work environment for the National Archives of Singapore (NAS) digital library is described. The system provides an integrated platform for supporting scholarly tasks such as browsing, querying, organizing and annotating of resources using a spatial metaphor. When complete, the system wil ..."

The SDSC Storage Resource Broker

by Chaitanya Baru, Reagan Moore, Arcot Rajasekar, Michael Wan - In Proceedings of CASCON , 1998
"... This paper describes the architecture of the SDSC Storage Resource Broker (SRB). The SRB is middleware that provides applications a uniform API to access heterogeneous distributed storage resources including, filesystems, database systems, and archival storage systems. The SRB utilizes a metadata ca ..."

catalog service, MCAT, to provide a "collection"- oriented view of data. Thus, data items that belong to a single collection may, in fact, be stored on heterogeneous storage systems. The SRB infrastructure is being used to support digital library projects at SDSC. This paper describes

Videoconferencing on the Internet

by Thierry Turletti, Christian Huitema - IEEE/ACM Trans. on Networking , 1996
"... This paper describes the INRIA Videoconferencing System (IVS), a low bandwidth tool for real-time video between workstations on the Internet using UDP datagrams and the IP multicast extension. The video coder-decoder (codec) is a software implementation of the UIT-T recommendation H.261 originally d ..."

developed for the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). Our focus in this paper is on adapting this codec for the Internet environment. We propose a packetization scheme, an error control scheme and an output rate control scheme that adapts the image coding process based on network conditions

Emstar: a software environment for developing and deploying wireless sensor networks

by Lewis Girod, Jeremy Elson, Thanos Stathopoulos, Martin Lukac, Deborah Estrin - In Proceedings of the 2004 USENIX Technical Conference , 2004
"... Recent work in wireless embedded networked systems has followed heterogeneous designs, incorporating a mixture of elements from extremely constrained 8- or 16-bit “Motes ” to less resourceconstrained 32-bit embedded “Microservers.” Emstar is a software environment for developing and deploying comple ..."

A personalized collaborative digital library environment

by Leonardo C, Umberto Straccia - In 5th International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL-02), number 2555 in Lecture Notes in Computer Science
"... Abstract. Usually, a Digital Library (DL) is an information resource where users may submit queries to satisfy their daily information need. The CYCLADES system envisages a DL additionally as a personalized collaborative working and meeting space of people sharing common interests, where users (i) m ..."

The Digital Library Integrated Task Environment (DLITE)

by Steve B. Cousins, Andreas Paepcke, Terry Winograd, Eric A. Bier, Ken Pier
"... We describe a case study in the design of a user interface to a digital library. Our design stems from a vision of a library as a channel to the vast array of digital information and document services that are becoming available. Based on published studies of library use and on scenarios, we develop ..."

Digital Library Resources as a Basis for Collaborative Work

by Robert Wilensky - Journal of the American Society for Information Science , 2000
"... The creation of large, networked, digital document resources has greatly facilitated information access and dissemination. We suggest that such resources can further enhance how we work with information, namely, that they can provide a substrate that supports collaborative work. We focus on one form ..."
