Selected Research Projects
Design Exploration is a process aimed at increasing the quality
of early-stage software requirements by collecting large quantities
of input from stakeholders. The research includes the design,
implementation, and evaluation of tools for collecting annotated partial
designs from stakeholders and effectively browsing, searching, and
analyzing large collectionsof these designs.
The Distributed Collection Manager provides support for maintaining
distributed collections, such as lists of web-based resources. Current
research is on algorithms for identifying and determining the importance
of change to resources and interfaces for
presenting results.
The Visual Knowledge Builder is a
spatial hypertext environment for
working with a variety of information. Current research directions
include adaptive visualizations based on inferred user interest and
improved support for collaboration via improved interaction history.
Walden's Paths is a set of tools for authoring, distributing and viewing
paths composed of annotated web pages. Paths can be static or dynamically
generated. Current research emphasizes the design of template-based
authoring tools that help authors create
pedagogically sound paths for education.
