An exploratory study was conducted to investigate the decision making process when storing new items and in particular their dumping behavior, which we define as putting in some unclassified/partially classified storage. It was found that users `dump' when unsure where to store, do not have the time to decide where to store, or not want to lose sight of data - these all have an impact on future retrieval. Understanding this behavior suggests design opportunities to support users, raising awareness of previously encountered but dumped information.

In our project, we used a diary as a technique to uncover more dumping factors as embedded behaviour that users might have while managing their information on their personal information spaces (PIS). In this paper, we described how we conducted a diary study and highlighted how our diary study affected our data. Later, we suggest how a diary study can better be implemented in a HCI project.

This paper presents selected results of an interview-based user study focused on information management on the personal computer. We focus on the Desktop, confirming results of previous studies as well as revealing new issues and ensuing design suggestions. While even basic competence users inventively appropriated the desktop, some features, in particular user-defined shortcuts, appeared counter-intuitive, and were underused. Users are still dissatisfied with their information organization and the challenge is to provide tools that support rather than replace the users 'flexible and creative use of the current desktop.

It also uncovers the experience of target-audience and builds a better understanding of their behaviors and concerns, incorporating them as user-profiles and personas. Modern technology draws a lot of success from how relatable it is to the average person, when designing an interactive technology, the human element is of the highest significance. To develop usable, high efficient and user-friendly application, we must understand, capture and analyze the essence of target audience issues and concerns. This helps the development team to cognitively imagine and communicate how the end-user will interact with the proposed design in a meaningful way. Type-2 diabetes is unquestionably a life-altering incident; to be able to fully understand it, one must focus less on the technical aspects of the issue and more on the human aspects. This research paper adopts an action ethnography approach to create a degree of empathy for diabetic users; bring attention to the significance of health related characteristics for type-2 diabetes personas and demonstrate the process and usefulness of these tools in user requirement gathering, design and implementation planning.
