IEEE Pervasive ComputingProject Aura: toward distraction-free pervasive computing
779 Citations2002David Garlan, Daniel P. Siewiorek +2 more
Aura aims to minimize distractions on a user's attention, creating an environment that adapts to the user's context and needs, specifically intended for pervasive computing environments involving wireless communication, wearable or handheld computers, and smart spaces.
ACM Transactions on GraphicsRooms: the use of multiple virtual workspaces to reduce space contention in a window-based graphical user interface
524 Citations1986D. Austin Henderson, Stuart Card
Rooms is a window manager that overcomes small screen size by exploiting the statistics of window access, dividing the user's workspace into a suite of virtual workspaces with transitions among them.
ACM Computing SurveysProcess migration
469 Citations2000Dejan Milojičić, Fred Douglis +3 more
This survey reviews the field of process migration by summarizing the key concepts and giving an overview of the most important implementations, and then revisited for each of the case studies described.
The Task Gallery
203 Citations2000George Robertson, Maarten van Dantzich +6 more
The Task Gallery is a window manager that uses interactive 3D graphics to provide direct support for task management and document comparison, lacking from many systems implementing the desktop metaphor.
Personal and Ubiquitous ComputingMASIF: The OMG mobile agent system interoperability facility
155 Citations1998Dejan Milojičić, Markus Breugst +11 more
Two sets of interfaces that constitute MASIF are described: MAFAgentSystem and MAFFinder (the acronym MAF is used for historical reasons).
Meeting the Computational Needs of Intelligent Environments: The Metaglue System
130 Citations2000Michael H. Coen, Brenton A. Phillips +4 more
Metaglue is described, an extension to the Java programming language for building software agent systems for controlling Intelligent Environments that has been specifically designed to address these needs.
Personal and Ubiquitous ComputingActivity-based computing: support for mobility and collaboration in ubiquitous computing
124 Citations2005Jakob E. Bardram
The design philosophy of activity-based computing (ABC), which addresses mobility and cooperation in human work activities, and the ABC framework, which is a ubiquitous computing infrastructure supporting ABC, are presented.
Support for activity-based computing in a personal computing operating system
99 Citations2006Jakob E. Bardram, Jonathan Bunde-Pedersen +1 more
An evaluation of this Windows XP ABC system showed that users found the ABC XP extension easy to use and likely to be useful in their own work, and was based on a multi-method approach.
GroupBar: The TaskBar Evolved
96 Citations2003Greg Smith, Patrick Baudisch +5 more
GroupBar, a task management system for dealing with the profusion of windows on the PC desktop, is introduced and it is found that participants were able to multitask faster when using GroupBar than when using the existing Windows TaskBar.
International Journal of Medical InformaticsArchitectures and tools for innovative Health Information Systems: The Guide Project
64 Citations2005Paolo Ciccarese, Ezio Caffi +2 more
The architecture of the Guide Project, a proposal for innovation of Health Information Systems, putting together medical and organizational issues through the Separation of Concerns paradigm, is described, focusing on one building block of the architecture: the Guideline Management System handling the whole life cycle of computerized Clinical Practice Guidelines.
