Separating the swarm: categorization methods for user sessions on the web
Authors: Jeffrey Heer, Ed H. Chi
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

Understanding user behaviors on Web sites enables site owners to make sites more usable, ultimately helping users to achieve their goals more quickly. Accordingly, researchers have devised methods for categorizing user sessions in hopes of revealing user interests. These techniques build user profiles by combining users' navigation paths with other data features, such as page viewing time, hyperlink structure, and page content. Previously, we have presented complex techniques of combining many of these data features to cluster user profiles. In this paper, we introduce a user study and a systematic evaluation of these different data features and their associated weighting schemes. We present the results of our study, including accuracy measures for a number of clustering approaches, and offer recommendations for Web analysts. While further investigation over more sites is needed to definitively settle on a robust scheme, we have characterized this analytic space
Local Area Networks Handbook, 6th Edition, 6th edition
Authors: John P. Slone
Venue:  (1999)

:Today's enterprise cannot effectively function without a network,and today's enterprise network is almost always based on LAN technology. In a few short years, LANs have become an essential element of today's business environment. This time in the spotlight, while well deserved, has not come without a price. Businesses now insist that LANs deliver vast and ever-increasing quantities of business-critical information and that they do it efficiently, flawlessly, without fail, and most of all, securely. Today's network managers must consistently deliver this level of performance, and must do so while keeping up with ever-changing, ever-increasing demands without missing a beat. At the same time, today's IT managers must deliver business-critical information systems in an environment that has undergone radical paradigm shifts in such widely varied fields as computer architecture, operating systems, application development, and security The Local Area Networks Handbook focuses on this collective environment, in which networking and information technology work together to create LAN-based enterprise networks. Topics have been selected and organized with this in mind, providing both depth and breadth of coverage. The handbook will provide you not only an understanding of how LANs work and how to go about selecting and implementing LAN products, but also of how to leverage LAN capabilities for the benefit of your enterprise The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

The syntactic and semantic correctness of pictorial configurations to query geographic databases by PQL
Authors: Fernando Ferri, Elaheh Pourabbas, Maurizio Rafanelli
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

In the field of geographic information systems, one important issue is related to define a sound method of syntactic and semantic correctness analysis for queries which can lead to multiple interpretations for the system and for the user. In this paper, we propose an approach in order to determine the exact syntactic and semantic interpretations of geographic configurations that are involved in queries for a pictorial query language. This language, called PQL, supports interactive manipulation of geographic elements letting users directly to express a query by drawing. We put in evidence and underline all the syntactically correct pictorial configurations among geographic objects which represent the topological relationships. Then, upon such analysis we determine the semantic correctness of configurations depending on the stored geographic data, and the detection of the ambiguities. We propose different solutions to determine the semantic correctness integrating the result of such approach to the set of PQL operators. Finally, we show the capability of such approach to resolve the ambiguities which arise from the formulation of complex queries involving multiple geographic objects.
Using distance education to teach introductory multimedia design and production
Authors: Tom Moran
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

An introductory course in the use of multimedia techniques for technical communication was designed and presented as a distance education course. The software application PowerPoint and several readily available HTML editors were used by students to create electronic presentations and web sites that employed sound, animation, film, as well as a variety of graphics and text messages to achieve specific communication objectives. Students used a messaging application, First Class, and the Internet to get assignments, learn about multimedia, discuss their experiences and problems, communicate with their instructor, and showcase and critique their own multimedia projects.

Large-scale applications: system sizing using modeling and simulation
Authors: Michael J. Engiles, Edward R. Stephan
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

A set of well-honed procedures have evolved for developing models that realistically reflect the user's application area. The benefits derived from the application of this systematic approach begin to accrue almost immediately. This paper will address the benefits derived from the application of modeling and simulation to areas such as architectural trade-offs, and sizing the system to meet the workload. A variety of practical examples will be included from server systems, telecommunications networks and manual processes. Inherent in the successful application of the modeling and simulation procedures is the requirement that they be applied iteratively and in a manner that produces frequent feedback from the system designers, managers and user community.

Hunter gatherer: a collection making tool for the web
Authors: m. c. schraefel, Yuxiang Zhu
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Task analysis of how users collect information from within Web pages indicates that while capturing information within-Web-page is a common task, it is not a frequent one. Tool support for this interaction is poor: users must move between browsers for copying and editors for pasting content They must also name the components captured and remember to copy and add the URL from the source. These subtasks force users away from their primary focus of information gathering and into information management. Hunter Gatherer is a browser-based tool designed to address the specific problems of forced divided attention in information gathering smaller-than-Web-page sized components.

Messages embedded in gaze of interface agents --- impression management with agent's gaze
Authors: Atsushi Fukayama, Takehiko Ohno, Naoki Mukawa, Minako Sawaki, Norihiro Hagita
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

We propose a gaze movement model that enables an embodied interface agent to convey different impressions to users. Managing one's own impression to influence the behaviors of others plays an important role in human communications. To create a new application area which involves agents in this kind of social interaction, interface agents that manage their impressions are required. For this purpose, we build the gaze movement model based on three gaze parameters picked from a large number of psychological studies: amount of gaze, mean duration of gaze, and gaze points while averted. In this paper, we introduce the gaze movement model and gaze parameters. We then present an experiment in which subjects evaluated the impressions created by nine gaze patterns produced by altering the gaze parameters. The results indicate that reproducible relations exist between the gaze parameters and impressions, which shows the validity of the model
