Email overload: exploring personal information management of email

by Steve Whittaker, Candace Sidner - CHI 96 CONFERENCE ON HUMAN FACTORS IN COMPUTING SYSTEMS , 1996
"... Email is one of the most successful computer applications yet devised. Our empirical data show however, that although email was origirally designed as a communications application, it is now used for additional functions, that it was not designed for, such as task management and personal archiving. ..."

. We call this email overload. We demonstrate that email overload creates problems for personal information management: users often have cluttered inboxes containing hundreds of messages, including outstanding tasks, partially read documents and conversational threads. Furthermore, user attemtps

Mediators in the architecture of future information systems

by Gio Wiederhold - IEEE COMPUTER , 1992
"... The installation of high-speed networks using optical fiber and high bandwidth messsage forwarding gateways is changing the physical capabilities of information systems. These capabilities must be complemented with corresponding software systems advances to obtain a real benefit. Without smart softw ..."

the administrative and technical knowledge to create information needed for decision-making. Software which mediates is common today, but the structure, the interfaces, and implementations vary greatly, so that automation of integration is awkward. By formalizing and implementing mediation we establish a partitioned

TaintDroid: An Information-Flow Tracking System for Realtime Privacy Monitoring on Smartphones

by William Enck, Landon P. Cox, Jaeyeon Jung, et al. , 2010
"... Today’s smartphone operating systems fail to provide users with adequate control and visibility into how third-party applications use their private data. We present TaintDroid, an efficient, system-wide dynamic taint tracking and analysis system for the popular Android platform that can simultaneous ..."

Formal and real authority in organizations

by Jean Tirole - The Journal of Political Economy , 1997
"... This paper develops a theory of the allocation of formal authority (the right to decide) and real authority (the effective control over decisions) within organizations, and it illustrates how a formally integrated structure can accommodate various degrees of "real" integration. Real author ..."
Abstract - Cited by 856 (24 self) - Add to MetaCart
authority is determined by the structure of information, which in turn depends on the allocation of formal authority. An increase in an agent's real authority promotes initiative but results in a loss of control for the principal. After spelling out (some of) the main determinants of the delegation

Protecting respondents’ identities in microdata release

by Pierangela Samarati - In IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (TKDE , 2001
"... Today’s globally networked society places great demand on the dissemination and sharing of information. While in the past released information was mostly in tabular and statistical form, many situations call today for the release of specific data (microdata). In order to protect the anonymity of the ..."

On understanding types, data abstraction, and polymorphism

by Luca Cardelli, Peter Wegner - ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS , 1985
"... Our objective is to understand the notion of type in programming languages, present a model of typed, polymorphic programming languages that reflects recent research in type theory, and examine the relevance of recent research to the design of practical programming languages. Object-oriented languag ..."
Abstract - Cited by 845 (13 self) - Add to MetaCart
such as overloading, coercion, subtyping, and parameterization are examined. A unifying framework for polymorphic type systems is developed in terms of the typed λ-calculus augmented to include binding of types by quantification as well as binding of values by abstraction. The typed λ-calculus is augmented

The unbearable automaticity of being

by John A. Bargh, Tanya L. Chartrand - AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGIST , 1999
"... What was noted by E. J. hanger (1978) remains true today: that much of contemporary psychological research is based on the assumption that people are consciously and systematically processing incoming information in order to construe and interpret their world and to plan and engage in courses of act ..."

Tapestry: An infrastructure for fault-tolerant wide-area location and routing

by Ben Y. Zhao, John Kubiatowicz, Anthony D. Joseph , 2001
"... In today’s chaotic network, data and services are mobile and replicated widely for availability, durability, and locality. Components within this infrastructure interact in rich and complex ways, greatly stressing traditional approaches to name service and routing. This paper explores an alternative ..."

Service Disciplines for Guaranteed Performance Service in Packet-Switching Networks

by Hui Zhang - Proceedings of the IEEE , 1995
"... While today’s computer networks support only best-effort service, future packet-switching integrated-services networks will have to support real-time communication services that allow clients to transport information with performance guarantees expressed in terms of delay, delay jitter, throughput, ..."

An Overview of Workflow Management: From Process Modeling to Workflow Automation Infrastructure

by Diimitrios Georgakopoulos, Mark Hornick, Amit Sheth - DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL DATABASES , 1995
"... Today’s business enterprises must deal with global competition, reduce the cost of doing business, and rapidly develop new services and products. To address these requirements enterprises must constantly reconsider and optimize the way they do business and change their information systems and appl ..."
