Eagan, James R., Beaudouin-Lafon, Michel and Mackay, Wendy E. (2011): Cracking the cocoa nut: user interface programming at runtime. In: Proceedings of the 2011 ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology 2011. pp. 225-234.

“This article introduces runtime toolkit overloading, a novel approach to help third-party developers modify the interaction and behavior of existing software applications without access to their underlying source code. We describe the abstractions provided by this approach as well as the mechanisms for implementing them in existing environments. We describe Scotty, a prototype implementation for Mac OS X Cocoa that enables developers to modify existing applications at runtime, and we demonstrate a collection of interaction and functional transformations on existing off-the-shelf applications. We show how Scotty helps a developer make sense of unfamiliar software, even without access to its source code. We further discuss what features of future environments would facilitate this kind of runtime software development.”

Eagan, James R. and Stasko, John T. (2008): The buzz: supporting user tailorability in awareness applications. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2008 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 5-10, 2008. pp. 1729-1738.

“Information awareness applications offer the exciting potential to help people to better manage the data they encounter on a routine basis, but customizing these applications is a difficult task. Most applications allow users to perform basic customizations or programmers to create advanced ones. We present an intermediate customization space and Cocoa Buzz, an application that demonstrates one way to bridge these two extremes. Cocoa Buzz runs on an extra display on the user's desktop or on a large shared display and cycles through different information sources customized by the user. We further demonstrate some of the customizations that have been made using this approach. We show some preliminary evidence to suggest that this approach may be useful at providing users with the ability to perform customizations across this spectrum.”

Eagan, James R. (2006): Designing interfaces to enrich personalization. In: Proceedings of DIS06: Designing Interactive Systems: Processes, Practices, Methods, & Techniques 2006. pp. 350-351.

“Peripheral awareness systems offer significant promise to help people to manage the abundance of information available to them without placing significant additional demands on attention. Rich personalization is essential to enabling these systems to provide relevant information to a particular person's individual needs in their own particular situation. I focus on rich personalization and its implications for the interfaces that can enable it.”
