Matulic, Fabrice and Norrie, Moira C. (2012): Supporting active reading on pen and touch-operated tabletops. In: Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces 2012. pp. 612-619.
“With the proliferation and sophistication of digital reading devices, new means to support the task of active reading (AR) have emerged. In this paper, we investigate the use of pen-and-touch-operated tabletops for performing essential processes of AR such as annotating, smooth navigation and rapid searching. We present an application to support these processes and then report on a user study designed to compare the suitability of our setup for three typical tasks against the use of paper media and Adobe Acrobat on a regular desktop PC. From this evaluation, we found out that pen and touch tabletops can successfully combine the advantages of paper and digital devices without their disadvantages. We however also learn from observations and participant feedback that there are still a number of hardware and software limitations that impede the user experience and hence need to be addressed in future systems.”

“Despite the fact that screen sizes and average screen resolutions have dramatically increased over the past few years, little attention has been paid to the design of web sites for large, high-resolution displays that are now becoming increasingly used both in enterprise and consumer spaces. We present a study of how the visual area of the browser window is currently utilised by news web sites at different widescreen resolutions. The analysis includes measurements of space taken up by the article content, embedded ads and the remaining components as they appear in the viewport of the web browser. The results show that the spatial distribution of page elements does not scale well with larger viewing sizes, which leads to an increasing amount of unused screen real estate and unnecessary scrolling. We derive a number of device-sensitive metrics to measure the quality of web page layout in different viewing contexts, which can guide the design of flexible layout templates that scale effectively on large screens.”

“With the emergence of digital pen and paper technologies, we have witnessed an increasing number of enhanced paper-digital notetaking solutions. However, the natural notetaking process includes a variety of individual work practices that complicate the automatic processing of paper notes and require user intervention for the classification of digital ink data. We present an extensible digital ink processing framework that simplifies the classification of digital ink data in natural notetaking applications. Our solution deals with the manual as well as automatic ink data segmentation and classification based on Delaunay triangulation and a strongest link algorithm. We further highlight how our solution can be extended with new digital ink classifiers and describe a paper-digital reminder application that has been realised based on the presented digital ink processing framework.”

“With the aid of digital pen and paper technologies, information written on paper can be made available digitally without an intermediary transcription step. This creates opportunities to harness paper notes in ways that are only possible with digital systems. We report on the outcomes of a user study on incidental paper-based notetaking that examined, not only the forms of notes that users take, but also if and how these are later used. Our aim was to establish how useful existing digital pen and paper solutions would be in such settings as well as informing the design of new solutions.”

“We present PaperProof, a paper-digital proof-editing application that allows users to edit digital documents by means of gesture-based mark-up of their printed versions. This enables users to switch seamlessly back and forth between paper and digital instances of a document throughout the document lifecycle, working with whichever medium is preferred for a given task. Importantly, by maintaining a logical mapping between the printed and digital instances, editing operations on paper can later be integrated into the digital document even if other users have edited the digital version in parallel. The system is based on Anoto digital pen and paper technology and is implemented using the iPaper framework for interactive paper.”

“When involved in collaborative tasks, users often choose to use multi-synchronous applications in order to concurrently work in isolation. Hence, privacy of their changes is maintained until they decide to publish their contributions. Not being aware of changes made by their collaborators, they often create concurrent modifications which might generate conflicts or lead to redundant work. We propose an awareness mechanism that solves this problem by computing and providing awareness in multi-synchronous collaboration while at the same time respecting user privacy by allowing users to specify the detail of information made available to their collaborators. The computation of awareness is based on metrics that measure the effect of changes for the different types of changes, on the different syntactic document levels and document parts. For the visualisation of awareness, we employ the concept of edit profiles.”

“Recent developments in digital pen and paper solutions enable, not only the digital capture of handwriting, but also paper to be used as an interactive medium that links to digital information and services. We present a tool that builds on technologies for interactive paper to enable PowerPoint presentations to be controlled from printed slide handouts. Furthermore, slides can be easily annotated during presentations by simply drawing on the printed version of the slide. As well as discussing the advantages of such a paper-based interface and initial findings on its use, we describe how we were also able to exploit it to provide a general prototyping tool for interactive paper applications.”

“The first steps towards bridging the paper-digital divide have been achieved with the development of a range of technologies that allow printed documents to be linked to digital content and services. However, the static nature of paper and limited structural information encoded in classical paginated format make it difficult to map between parts of a printed instance of a document and logical elements of a digital instance of the same document, especially taking document revisions into account. We present a solution to this problem based on a model that combines metadata of the digital and printed instances to enable a seamless mapping between digital documents and their physical counterparts on paper. We also describe how the model was used to develop iDoc, a framework that supports the authoring and publishing of interactive paper documents.”

“Interaction design is a major issue for mobile information systems in terms of not only the choice of input/output channels and presentation of information, but also the application of context-awareness. To support experimentation with these factors, we have developed platforms to support the rapid prototyping of multi-channel, multi-modal, context-aware applications. The Java-based platform presented here is based on an integration of a cross-media link server and an object-oriented framework for advanced content publishing, along with a Client Controller and Context Engine. We also describe how this platform was used to develop a mobile tourist information system for an international arts festival where interaction was based on a combination of interactive paper and speech output.”

Proceedings of AXMEDIS 2007, 3rd International Conference on Automated Production of Cross Media Content for Multi-channel Distribution November 28-30, 2007, Barcelona, Spain. .
“Digital pen and paper technologies provide the basis for linking digital content and services to printed materials in the form of interactive paper publications. To realise the potential of these technologies, it is important to develop platforms and tools that can support the large-scale publishing of interactive paper documents. We show how an extensible content management system (XCM) that was developed to support context-aware publishing was used for the production of interactive paper documents. The publishing process consists of two phases and requires one channel to support the production of the document together with cross-media link definitions and a second channel to support interaction with the document.”

“Recent approaches for linking paper and digital information or services tend to be based on a one-time publishing of digital information where changes to the printed document become isolated from its digital source. Structural information which is available when authoring a digital document is lost during the printing process making it difficult to map interactions within the physical document to the corresponding elements of the digital document. We identify the necessary requirements for an integrated digital and paper-based document lifecycle and present our solution which supports a seamless transition between digital and physical document instances. PaperProof is presented as a paper-based proof-editing application that exploits our new approach for mapping pen-based interactions with paper documents to the corresponding operations in the digital document instance.”

“Existing gesture recognition tools and frameworks tend to focus on specific settings, gesture sets or algorithms. Further, they are often designed to support the developers of either applications or algorithms, but not both. Our goal was to develop a general and extensible framework that provides an integrated platform for the design and evaluation of algorithms, as well as for their deployment to a wide audience. The presented iGesture framework supports the definition and evaluation of new gesture sets. Furthermore, our gesture recognition framework enables an easy integration of new forms of input devices. We present the iGesture framework, show how it has been used to support the development of two new gesture recognition algorithms - an extension of Rubine called E-Rubine and SiGrid - and finally provide an evaluation of these algorithms.”

“With the emergence of digital pen and paper interfaces, there is a need for gesture recognition tools for digital pen input. While there exists a variety of gesture recognition frameworks, none of them addresses the issues of supporting application developers as well as the designers of new recognition algorithms and, at the same time, can be integrated with new forms of input devices such as digital pens. We introduce iGesture, a Java-based gesture recognition framework focusing on extensibility and cross-application reusability by providing an integrated solution that includes tools for gesture recognition as well as the creation and management of gesture sets for the evaluation and optimisation of new or existing gesture recognition algorithms. In addition to traditional screen-based interaction, iGesture provides a digital pen and paper interface.”

“Many hypermedia models have been proposed, including those specifically developed to model navigational aspects of web sites. But few hypermedia systems have been implemented based on metamodelling principles familiar to the database community. Often there is no clear separation between conceptual and technical issues in the models and their implementations are not based on an explicit representation of a metamodel. This results in a loss of generality and uniformity across systems. Based on principles of metamodel-driven system development, we have implemented a platform that can support various categories of hypermedia systems through the generality and extensibility of the metamodel. We present our metamodel and show how it generalises concepts present in a range of hypermedia and link server systems.”

“DelosDLMS is a prototype of a next-generation Digital Library (DL) management system. It is realized by combining various specialized DL functionalities provided by partners of the DELOS network of excellence. Currently, DelosDLMS combines text and audio-visual searching, offers new information visualization and relevance feedback tools, provides novel interfaces, allows retrieved information to be annotated and processed, integrates and processes sensor data streams, and finally, from a systems engineering point of view, is easily configured and adapted while being reliable and scalable. The prototype is based on the OSIRIS/ISIS platform, a middleware environment developed by ETH Zurich and now being extended at the University of Basel.”

“Collaborative object-based graphical editors offer good support for design teams to work concurrently on their design. However, not much research has been done on maintaining consistency when complex operations such as the grouping of objects or working on layers are involved. In this paper, we propose a novel operation serialisation algorithm for consistency maintenance based on the reordering of nodes in a graph. The nodes of a graph represent operations and the edges represent ordering constraints between operations. Users can specify types of conflicts between operations and the policy for the resolution of conflicts.”

“Our demonstration is a paper-based interactive guide for
visitors to the worlds largest international arts festival that was developed as part of a project investigating new forms of context-aware information delivery and interaction in mobile environments. Information stored in a database is accessed from a set of interactive paper documents, including a printed festival brochure, a city map and a bookmark. Active areas are defined within the documents and selection of these using a special digital pen causes the corresponding query request along with context data to be sent to a festival application database and the response is returned to the visitor in the form of generated speech output. In addition to paper-based information browsing and transactions such as ticket booking, the digital pen can also be applied for data capture of event ratings and handwritten comments on events. The system integrates three main database componentsa cross-media information platform,
a content management framework for multi-channel contextaware publishing of data and the festival application database.”

“Citations form the basis for a web of scientific publications. Search engines, embedded hyperlinks and digital libraries all simplify the task of finding publications of interest on the web and navigating to cited publications or web sites. However the actual reading of publications often takes place on paper and frequently on the move. We present a system Print-n-Link that uses technologies for interactive paper to enhance the reading process by enabling users to access digital information and/or searches for cited documents from a printed version of a publication using a digital pen for interaction. A special virtual printer driver automatically generates links from paper to digital services during the printing process based on an analysis of PDF documents. Depending on the user setting and interaction gesture, the system may retrieve metadata about the citation and inform the user through an audio channel or directly display the cited document on the users screen.”

“Paper persists as an important medium for documents and this has motivated the development of new technologies for interactive paper that enable actions on paper to be linked to digital actions. A major issue that remains is how to integrate these technologies into the document life cycle and, specifically, how to facilitate the authoring of links between printed documents and digital documents and services. We describe how we have extended a general web publishing framework to support the production of interactive paper documents, thereby integrating paper as a new web channel in a platform for multi-channel access.”

“Despite the increasing availability of various forms of digital maps and guides, paper still prevails as the main information medium used by tourists during city visits. Given recent advances in technologies for digitally augmented paper, we chose to investigate the development and use of digitally augmented paper maps that provide an optional value-added service to tourists based on traditional paper maps. We describe how we implemented interactive maps using these technologies and support various forms of activity maps as digital overlays. An initial user study of a map-based system that we developed to support visitors to the Edinburgh festivals is presented.”

“Over the last decade, we have seen a significant increase in the number of projects aiming for integration of different kinds of media (mixed-media integration). However, most existing approaches tend to focus on the media technologies rather than on concepts for information integration and linking that enable users to move freely back and forth between various media information sources. In this paper, we discuss the issues of information semantics and granularity that arise in the design of highly interactive mixed-media information systems and present a general, flexible information server that meets the requirements of publishing information on different output channels (cross-media publishing). Specifically, we introduce the iServer framework as a generic link management and extensible integration platform and digitally augmented paper is presented as one specific application of the iServer technology. A case study shows how cross-media publishers could profit from using more elaborate information systems and some of the authoring issues of mixed-media information environments are discussed.”

“Often collaborative graphical systems lag behind well accepted single-user applications in terms of features supported. The frequently used operations of group/ungroup offered by almost every single-user graphical editor have not been considered by the collaborative graphical editing systems that try to preserve the intentions of the users involved in the concurrent editing. In this paper we present a novel algorithm based on operation serialisation for consistency maintenance in collaborative graphical editing dealing not only with simple operations such as create, delete, move, change colour or position, but also with group/ungroup operations. Based on the classification of conflicts into real and resolvable, an undo/redo mechanism is used in order to re-execute the operations in an imposed serialisation order.”

“We present a general framework for cross-media annotation that can be used to support the many different forms and uses of annotation. Specifically, we discuss the need for digital annotation of printed materials and describe how various technologies for digitally augmented paper can be used in support of work practices. The state of the art in terms of both commercial and research solutions is described in some detail, with an analysis of the extent to which they can support both the writing and reading activities associated with annotation. Our framework is based on an extension of the information server that was developed within the Paper++ project to support enhanced reading. It is capable of handling both formal and informal annotation across printed and digital media, exploiting a range of technologies for information capture and display. A prototype demonstrator application for mammography is presented to illustrate both the functionality of the framework and the status of existing technologies.”

“The integration of printed paper and digital information enables new forms of enhanced reading. We present digitally augmented paper as a specific application of our more general Integration Server (iServer) architecture for cross-media information management. Multi-layered linking is introduced as a way to manage the granularity of link anchors and an application making active use of multi-layered links is presented. Furthermore, we point out how the concept of supporting multiple layers in link management can be applied to other media such as, for example, XHTML in combination with the XML Linking Language (XLink).”

“We present a general web-based information infrastructure capable of supporting the rapid development of highly-interactive information environments that cater for widely varying requirements across application domains and all forms of fixed and mobile client devices. In particular, we describe how this infrastructure has been extended to support digitally augmented paper through a special transformation component that can map active areas of document pages to information objects so that user- and context-dependent interaction can be supported. Our infrastructure is sufficiently general and flexible to adapt to, not only emerging and even unanticipated technologies in the area of interactive paper, but also the rapidly expanding interaction sphere of hypermedia.”

“While there have been dramatic increases in the use of digital technologies for the storage and processing of information, the affordances of paper have ensured its retention as a key information medium. Recent developments in digitally augmented paper provide the potential to embed active links within printed documents, thereby turning paper into an interactive medium. In this paper, we address the issues of information granularity and semantics that arise in integrating paper as a first-class interactive information medium in hypermedia systems and show that the information server is vital in realising the true potential of this vision. Further, we discuss the authoring issues of cross-media information environments and the forms of tools required to support the various categories of authoring activity.”

“The affordances of paper have ensured its retention as a key information medium, in spite of dramatic increases in the use of digital technologies for information storage, processing and delivery. Recent developments in paper, printing and wand technologies may lead to the widespread use of digitally augmented paper in the near future, thereby enabling the paper and digital worlds to be linked together. We are interested in using these technologies to achieve a true integration of printed and digital information sources such that users may browse freely back and forth between paper and digital resources. We present web-based server technologies that support this integration by allowing users to dynamically link areas of printed documents to objects of an application database. The server component is implemented using the eXtensible Information Management Architecture (XIMA) and is independent of the particular paper, printing and reader technologies used to realise the digitally augmented paper. The framework presented manages semantic information about application objects, documents, users, links and client devices and it supports universal client access.”

“The Desktop metaphor has repeatedly been declared antiquated in various ways. It nevertheless
continues existing. Despite the widely pronounced critique, it is still not clear what functional requirements have
to be met by a new none-desktop interface. In this context, we define and explain the functional requirements
(paradigms) we think fundamental for upcoming generations of non-desktop user interfaces. In close
collaboration with users, we have also developed a graphical user interface (GUI) that illustrates these new
paradigms and which is at the same time a concrete proposition for a new metaphor.”

“As part of a general framework for the development of global information systems, we include support for the development of aural interfaces. The framework uses an object-oriented database for the management of application, document content and presentation data. The access layer is based around an XML server and XSLT for document generation from default and customised templates. Specifically, aural interfaces are supported through a VoiceXML server that provides the speech recognition and synthesis mechanisms, together with XSLT templates for the generation of VoiceXML. In this paper, we describe the implementation of a generic voice browser for application databases as well as the development of a customised aural interface for a community diary managing appointments and events.”

In: Proceedings of Pervasive 2002, International Conference on Pervasive Computing August, 2002, Zurich, Switzerland. .
“We present a system that provides an advanced telephone service for the dissemination of both national and regional avalanche forecasts in the Swiss Alps. The service enables members of the public and also mountain guides to access forecast information while travelling in mountain areas and, particularly, to be notified when entering regions of high risk. By telephone access, we include both voice and WAP-based access as well as combinations of both. The service is achieved through the integration of a special forecast content delivery database, inclusive of geographical data for location-dependent delivery, into the overall avalanche information system architecture. This database was implemented using the XIMA framework for adaptable content delivery, which is based on an XML server for the OMS Java data management system and XSLT presentation templates. The speech interface was implemented using VoiceXML.”

In: Proceedings of OOIS 2002, 7th International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems August, 2001, Calgary, Canada. .
“In this paper, we present the main objetcives and components of the OMS Java data management framework. We argue that developers of modern information systems require high-level application programming interfaces, storage platform independence and support for universal client access. We describe how the OMS Java framework provides three levels of abstractions - storage, information and access in order to realise these objectives. We then present each of these layers in turn - starting with the information abstractions which lie at the core of the system and then going on to the storage and access layers.”

The development process is based on three main stages of information modelling, document content design and presentation specification. A Java framework based on the OMS object-oriented data management system has been developed to support the development life cycle from rapid prototyping through to operation. We describe how the framework supports access from heterogeneous clients and how it has been extended to include a web content manager.”

“To improve the performance of web database access for regular users, we have developed a client caching agent, referred to as a personal assistant. In addition to caching strategies based on data characteristics and user specification, the personal assistant dynamically prefetches information based on previously monitored user access patterns. It is part of an overall multi-layered caching scheme where cache coherency is ensured through cooperation with a server-side database caching agent. The personal assistant has been implemented in Java and integrated into the web architecture for the OMS Pro database management system.”
