Preserving digital information is a problem plagued by short media life, obsolete hardware and software, slow read times of old media, and defunct Web sites. The paradox is: We want to maintain digital information intact, but we also want to be able to ...

Effective document management in the Information Age must require nearly zero effort, be economically reasonable, offer efficient retrieval methods, and satisfy users' concerns about security and privacy.During the past three years, the California ...

Although still in the prototype stage, three-dimensional volumetric displays present unique interface challenges. Current display technologies limit our ability to view and interact with 3D computer graphics because we typically view 3D data on a 2D ...

Printed embedded data graphical user interfaces (PEDGUIs) generalize the interaction domain to images and objects to enable interaction with passive objects and active displays throughout user environ-ments. Embedded data helps establish the selection ...

Today people expect computers to perform not only obvious computational tasks but also to assist in people-oriented tasks. This shift is causing user-interface (UI) researchers to explore methods that bend computers to people's way of interacting by ...

To make knowledge visualizations clear and easy to interpret, the authors have developed a method that extends and transforms traditional author co-citation analysis (ACA) by extracting structural patterns from the scientific literature and representing ...

Mobile computing requires an advanced infrastructure that integrates support protocols, mechanisms, and tools to dynamically reallocate and trace mobile users and terminals and permit coordination of mobile entities. Solutions to these issues require ...

UCR's Dalton Project shows that platform tuning can increase performance and reduce power consumption for system-on-chip embedded platforms.

Twin Peaks intertwines software requirements and architectures to achieve incremental development and speedy delivery.

The story of how information technology has radically altered our lives and even ourselves has been told many times, in many versions. The radical effects of the process have extended to institutions, social processes, relationships, power structures, ...

The author calls for engineering activism to intelligently guide the inevitable incorporation of values into computer systems and devices.
