The American Journal of PsychologyPlans and Situated Actions: The Problem of Human-Machine Communication
5,333 Citations1990Barry H. Kantowitz, Lucy Suchman
This paper presents a meta-modelling architecture for human-machine communication that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and therefore expensive and expensive process of designing and implementing communication systems.
ACM Transactions on Information SystemsThe active badge location system
3,791 Citations1992Roy Want, Andy Hopper +2 more
A novel system for the location of people in an office environment is described, where members of staff wear badges that transmit signals providing information about their location to a centralized location service, through a network of sensors.
MACA-a New Channel Access Method for Packet Radio
1,327 Citations1990P. Karn
A new scheme, Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (MACA), that could greatly relieve problems of the existing Carrier Sense Multiple Access method and also be easily extended to provide automatic transmitter power control.
Supporting real-time applications in an Integrated Services Packet Network
850 Citations1992David D. Clark, Scott Shenker +1 more
This paper considers the support of real-time applications in an Integrated Services Packet Network (ISPN), and proposes an ISPN architecture that supports two distinct kinds of real time service: guaranteed service, which involves pre-computed worst-case delay bounds, and predicted service which uses the measure performance of the network in computing delay bounds.
Tivoli
336 Citations1993Elin Rønby Pedersen, Kim McCall +2 more
Tivoli strives to provide its users with the simplicity, facile use, and easily understood functionality of conventional whiteboards, while at the same time taking advantage of the computational power of the Liveboard to support and augment its users' informal meeting practices.
Touch-typing with a stylus
319 Citations1993David Theo Goldberg, Cate Richardson
This work presents the design and preliminary analysis of an approach to stylus touch-typing using an alphabet of uni-strokes, which are letters specially designed to be used with a stylus, which have the following advantages over ordinary printing.
The limits of expert performance using hierarchic marking menus
315 Citations1993Gordon Kurtenbach, William Buxton
This paper experimentally investigates the bounds on how many items can be in each level, and how deep the hierarchy can be, before using a marking to select an item becomes too slow or prone to errors.
ACM Transactions on Information SystemsVideodraw: a video interface for collaborative drawing
169 Citations1991John Tang, Scott Minneman
VideoDraw is a prototype, videobased, tool that provides a shared “virtual sketchbook” among two or more collaborators that not only allows the collaborators to see each others’ drawings, but also conveys the accompanying hand gestures and the process of creating and using those drawings.
A network architecture providing host migration transparency
164 Citations1991Fumio Teraoka, Yasuhiko Yokore +1 more
This paper introduces a new network architecture which provides host migration transparency in large interconnected networks and proposes a protocol based on the propagating cache method, and divides the conventional network layer into two sublayers to realize host migration Transparency.

ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems ReviewThe portable common runtime approach to interoperability
85 Citations1989Mark Weiser, Alan Demers +1 more
A comparison of language-specific runtime environments and operating system abstractions in the context of iOS and Android shows that the former are more compatible with each other and the latter are less so.
