“This paper describes OASIS, a programming environment for implementing organizational support systems. Tasks, which combine data and processing objects into encapsulated units that are easily joined with other tasks, are proposed as an effective knowledge encapsulation technique for such systems. Other features of the programming environment include support of distributed applications, decentralized and shared databases, and object-oriented design. An effective and powerful user interface is provided as part of the runtime environment.”

Lee, Alison and Lochovsky, Frederick H. (1990): User's Command Line Reference Behaviour: Locality versus Recency. In: Diaper, Dan, Gilmore, David J., Cockton, Gilbert and Shackel, Brian (eds.) INTERACT 90 - 3rd IFIP International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction August 27-31, 1990, Cambridge, UK. pp. 121-128.
“The techniques of working set calculation and locality set determination from computer memory management research are applicable to HCI research. Working sets can be used to analyze the recency characteristic (favouring recent interactions) and locality sets can be used to analyze the locality characteristic (clustering of interactions) in user behaviour. We present two computer simulation studies and their results. The first study found that locality exists in users' command line references. The second study found evidence to suggest that the locality characteristic is better at predicting candidates for recurrence than the recency characteristic. Both of these results have positive implications for the design of tools that allow users to reuse their past interactions.”

“One of an organization's assets is the knowledge it has for carrying out its activities in an acceptable way. However, due to the constantly changing environment in which operates, its knowledge must evolve in order for it to survive and to stay competitive. For this reason, it is inappropriate to hard-code organizational knowledge into a computer-based organizational support system. Supporting the evolution of organizational knowledge, in general, is a very difficult problem because the domain knowledge needed to support it is open-ended. However, certain forms of organizational knowledge evolution, where the knowledge needed for the evolution already exists in some form in the organization, can be supported. We call this type of knowledge evolution knowledge migration. To evolve, in this case, is to recognize the need for change, and to rearrange or acquire the knowledge (possibly located in several different locations). In this paper, we discuss an approach for supporting this type of knowledge evolution.”

Lochovsky, Frederick H., Hogg, J. S., Weiser, S. P. and Mendelzon, Alberto O. (1988): OTM: Specifying Office Tasks. In: Allen, Robert (ed.) Proceedings of the Conference on Office Information Systems 1988 March 23-25, 1988, Palo Alto, California, USA. pp. 46-54.
“While there are many difficulties in computerizing office tasks, two of the major ones are a lack of appropriate end-user facilities for specifying office tasks and inadequate system-level support for managing office tasks. We are investigating these two issues within the Office Task Manager (OTM) project at the University of Toronto. To address the user-level aspects of specifying office tasks, we believe that a programming-by-example approach to office task specification holds much promise for providing office workers with facilities to help them computerize their own office activities. We outline our approach to such a facility in this paper. To address the system-level aspects of managing office tasks, we believe that object-oriented environments, because of their ability to combine data and operations on the data, can provide the support required for managing office tasks. In this paper, we also outline how office data and tasks are encoded and managed as objects. Initially, we are addressing the problem of supporting structured office tasks and our approach to this problem is the emphasis of this paper.”

Woo, Carson C. and Lochovsky, Frederick H. (1986): Supporting Distributed Office Problem Solving in Organizations. In ACM Transactions on Information Systems, 4 (3) pp. 185-204
“To improve the effectiveness of office workers in their decision making, office systems have been built to support (rather than replace) their judgment. However, these systems model office work in a centralized environment, and/or they can only support a single office worker. Office work that is divided into specialized domains handled by different office workers (where cooperation is needed in order to accomplish the work) is not supported. In this paper, we will present a model that supports office problem solving in a logically distributed environment. (In some systems, information is geographically distributed for performance purpose rather than for conceptual need. The term, logically, is therefore used to indicate the logical need of organizing information without having to worry about the physical location of the information.) In particular, cooperative tools that can be used to support office workers during the process of their problem solving is discussed.”

Mazer, Murray S. and Lochovsky, Frederick H. (1984): Logical Routing Specification in Office Information Systems. In ACM Transactions on Information Systems, 2 (4) pp. 303-330
“A message management system is an office information system for managing structured messages, integrating the facilities of computer-based message systems and database management systems, and adding to them the capability of "intelligent" handling of messages. This allows the office information system to support messages that can use information about themselves (such as structure and content) or about the system to effect their own processing. Logical routing of messages in an office information system is a function that can benefit from such intelligent processing. A framework and language are introduced for the specification of logical routing for messages in an office information system. By associating routing specifications with message types, the system assumes the responsibility both for evaluating the current message instance state to yield the next destination for the instance and for forwarding the instance. The user is freed from the need to direct explicitly each instance of a message type. The routing specifications are based on a variety of criteria, including message instance state and system characteristics. A routing specification language is described, with examples, and an implementation for a distributed workstation environment is outlined.”

“Document management is a major activity in an office. Documents are created, edited, distributed, and stored. While facilities for managing electronic documents exist, they are often poorly integrated. In this paper, the design and implementation of an integrated document management system -- Officeaid -- is described. In the design, four major objectives were considered: develop effective and useful man-machine interfaces, provide integrated facilities, utilize data base management techniques, and provide support for different types of data.”

Proceedings of the ACM CHI 83 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conferenc December 12-15, 1983, Boston, Massachusetts, United States. pp. 130-134.
“In Office Information Systems, the primary focus has been to integrate facilities for the communication and management of information. However, the human factors aspects of the design of office systems are equally important considerations if such office systems are to gain widespread acceptance and use. The application of design techniques from Human Factors can help enhance the usability of an office system. In this paper, we describe the user interface of an office system developed by adapting such design techniques.”
