Greif, Irene (1998): Everyone is Talking about Knowledge Management. In: Poltrock, Steven and Grudin, Jonathan (eds.) Proceedings of the 1998 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work November 14 - 18, 1998, Seattle, Washington, United States. pp. 405-406. Available online

“Everyone is talking about Knowledge Management (KM). At least, everyone in the commercial world who used to buy or sell groupware. It's captured the attention of vendors, customers, analysts and reporters. Is it real or a fad, the next step in evolution from email, through groupware, to what people REALLY need, or the next open area for research on large organizations and their real needs? The panel moderator will assemble a group of experts from the companies leading the KM movement and representatives of academic research organizations with dissenting views. Join us as we take a look at the KM frenzy, with an eye towards identifying open questions that can be addressed by CSCW researchers.”

Proceedings of the 1990 ACM conference on Computer-supported cooperative work October 07 - 10, 1990, Los Angeles, California, United States. pp. 237-238.

“This panel will examine the opportunities and the challenges for commercialization of group software in the 90's. A number of new group software products -- usually labelled "groupware" -- have shipped since we last met at CSCW 88. We can now look back on the successes and failures of these products and assess the industry's current understanding of the "groupware" product category. We'll also look at the prospects of groupware moving out of the limelight as group support is integrated into conventional products over the coming years.”

“Data sharing is fundamental to computer-supported cooperative work: People share information through explicit communication channels and through their coordinated use of shared databases. This paper examines the data management requirements of group work applications on the basis of experience with three prototype systems and on observations from the literature. Database and object management technologies that support these requirements are briefly surveyed, and unresolved issues in the particular areas of access control and concurrency control are identified for future research.”

Proceedings of the ACM CHI 85 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conference April 14-18, 1985, San Francisco, California. p. 65.

“Research on human factors in computer systems has emphasized supporting individuals. This panel will discuss new issues that emerge when computer systems support groups of people and whole organizations. Malone (see following paper) will suggest a broadening of the definition of user interfaces to include "organizational interfaces" and will indicate how a theoretical base for such an endeavor might be developed. Then Cashman will describe a "coordinator tool" in use at DEC for tracking the assignment of tasks to people in activities such as software maintenance. Finally, Brown will suggest how computer systems can be designed to radically increase the bandwidth of cooperation in groups by, for example, exploiting linguistic notions of context.”

Greif, Irene, Buxton, William, MacGregor, Scott, Reed, David R. and Tesler, Larry (1985): Microcomputer User Interface Toolkits: The Commercial State-of-the-Art. In: Borman, Lorraine and Curtis, Bill (eds.) Proceedings of the ACM CHI 85 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conference April 14-18, 1985, San Francisco, California. p. 225.

“A well-designed user interface is a very valuable asset: the best available today are based on hundreds of man-years of work combining results of research in human factors, tasteful design reviewed and modified through extensive end-user testing, and many rounds of implementation effort. As a result, the user interface "toolkit" is emerging as the hottest new software item. A toolkit can provide software developers with a programming environment in which the user interface coding is already done so that new applications programs can automatically be integrated with other workstation functions. The panel will evaluate this new trend. Tesler and MacGregor will present the designs of the leading toolkit products from Apple and Microsoft, respectively. Reed will analyze the choices from the point of view of the third party software vendors' requirements. Noting that the effort going into these products may well result in de facto standard setting, Buxton will question the appropriateness of making this commitment based on microcomputer hardware.”

Sarin, Sunil K. and Greif, Irene (1984): Software for Interactive On-Line Conferences. In: Ellis, Clarence (ed.) Proceedings of the Second ACM-SIGOA Conference on Office Information Systems 1984 June 25-27, 1984, Toronto, Canada. pp. 46-58.

“A layered architecture for the implementation of real-time conferences is presented. In a real-time conference a group of users, each at his or her own workstation, share identical views of on-line application information. The users cooperate in a problem solving task by interactively modifying or editing the shared view or the underlying information, and can use a voice communication channel for discussion and negotiation. The lower layer in this architecture, named Ensemble, supports the sharing of arbitrary application-defined objects among the participants of a conference, and the manipulation of these objects via one or more application-defined groups of commands called activities. Ensemble provides generic facilities for sharing objects and activities, and for dynamically adding and removing participants in a conference; these can be used in constructing real-time conferencing systems for many different applications. An example is presented of how the Ensemble functions can be used to implement a shared bitmap with independent participant cursors. The relation between this layered architecture and the ISO Open Systems Interconnection reference model is discussed. In particular, it is argued that Ensemble represents a plausible first step toward a Session-layer protocol for "multi-endpoint connections", a neglected area of communication protocol development.”

“ Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience. ”

-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996 ”
