It is expected that many of the papers printed here will be revised and submitted to refereed archival journals for publication.
An approach to persistence of Web resources
Authors: Joachim Feise
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

The growth of the World Wide Web holds great promise for universal online information access. New information is constantly being made available for users. However, the information accessible on the Web changes constantly. These changes may occur as modifications to both the content and the location of previously existing Web resources. As these changes occur, the accessibility to past versions of such Web resources is often lost. This paper presents an approach to provide content persistence of Web resources by organizing collections of historical Web resources in a distributed configuration management system to allow online, read-only access to the versioned resources.

Applying patterns of cooperative interaction to work (re)design: e-government and planning
Authors: David Martin, Mark Rouncefield, Ian Sommerville
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

This paper presents patterns of cooperative interaction derived from ethnographic studies of cooperative work as devices for generalisation, re-use and design. These patterns consist of examples of similar social and interactional phenomena found in different studies that serve as resources for defining and envisaging design concepts, and potential work process and technical solutions. We outline new pattern examples and demonstrate their use in application to a complex setting: e-government in local government planning

What should it do?: key isssues in navigation interface design for small screen devices
Authors: Inger Ekman, Petri Lankoski
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

One important application area for location-aware mobile devices is offering navigational support. This paper summarizes the results of preliminary user tests with different navigation interfaces designed for small screens. We focus on the effectiveness vs. likeability of the interface and explore how these two aspects can be combined to support the navigational task of the user. Our research shows, that offering rich contextual information can support the navigational task by providing the user with a feeling of familiarity and perceived credibility. At the same time it can be a source of distraction, and cause misinterpretations. We propose the use of a rotating route-model to provide the user with a navigational guidance system both effective and likeable.
Automatic location of text in video frames
Authors: Xian-Sheng Hua, Xiang-Rong Chen, Liu Wenyin, Hong-Jiang Zhang
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 ACM workshops on Multimedia: multimedia information retrieval (2001)

A new automatic text location approach for videos is proposed. First of all, the corner points of the selected video frames are detected. After deleting some isolate corners, we merge the remaining corners to form candidate text regions. The regions are then decomposed vertically and horizontally using edge maps of the video frames to get candidate text lines. Finally, a text box verification step based on the feature derived from edge maps is taken to significantly reduce false alarms. Experimental results show that the new text location scheme proposed in this paper is accurate.
