PIM Workshop at CHI2008 - accepted papers
January 18, 2008
Accepted papers have been announced for the Personal Information Management workshop at CHI2008 in Florence.
Loads of good stuff (see full list of accepted papers), but here’s a few highlights which caught my eye:
- “Evaluating Personal Information Management Using an Activity Logs Enriched Desktop Dataset” (Sergey Chernov, Gianluca De martini, Eelco Herder, Michal Kopycki, Wolfgang Nejdl) - real-world evaluation is a key challenge for the PIM community. The very nature of personal information means its hard to get access, hence the need to construct data-sets of test corpora, similar to those used in the Information Retrieval community.
- ” From Novice to Expert: Personal Information Management Behaviors in Learning Contexts” (Deborah Barreau) - Deborah wrote one of the seminal early 90s papers on digital PIM so I look forward to hearing about what she’s working on now from the perspective of Educational IT.
- “ An Overview of Web-based Monitoring: Future Directions and Challenges” (Melanie Kellar) - Melanie, one of my colleagues at Google UX will be talking about her PhD work on online information seeking and associated management practices such as bookmarking.
- “Collaborative Personal Information Management With Shared, Interactive Tabletops” (Anthony Collins, Judy Kay) - I’m intrigued, dare I say it all sounds a bit oxymoronic ,”Collaborative personal” …?
See you there?
